Our Story
After being the first bank to apply for a charter in the new millennium, Community Bank of Pickens County opened for business in 2000. The bank originally opened in a modular unit while a 10,000 square foot facility was being constructed at the corner of Highway 53 and Sammy McGhee Boulevard.
The original staff of thirteen has increased to over fifty to meet the needs of our growing customer base. In 2008, a second full service location was opened on Cove Road. Our latest expansion was in 2014 to house a growing Small Business Administration (SBA) loan center.
Community Bank of Pickens County is the only locally owned bank in our area. The Board of Directors and management have always been committed to providing the highest quality customer service possible and understand this is achieved through having the best staff.
