COMMUNITYSOUTH BANK & TRUST VOTED BEST BANK IN PICKENS COUNTY
FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW
Upstate, SC – Nov. 13, 2009 – For the second year in a row, CommunitySouth Bank & Trust has been named “Best Bank in Pickens County.”
The 2009 edition of Pickens County’s Picks lists the community bank as #1 in the county based on votes cast by readers of the Easley Progress and Pickens Sentinel. Voters selected their favorites in a number of categories -- from banks to restaurants and hardware stores to hotels.
“We are honored to be voted Best Bank in Pickens County,” said C. Allan Ducker, III, chief executive officer of CommunitySouth Bank & Trust and a Pickens County resident.“When your neighbors vote you their favorite, it really means something – especially two years in a row.”
Ducker and the Bank’s President David Miller started CommunitySouth five years ago with one simple business strategy: the customer comes first. Since then, the Bank has grown to over $400 million in assets and currently employs more than 95 employees in six upstate locations.
“Our business model has always been based on our number one corporate goal of excellence in customer service. Being voted Best Bank in Pickens County again confirms that we are delivering on that essential goal,” Ducker said. “Simply put, we want to be the best bank in the Upstate.”
