MOULTRIE, Ga. – The First National Bank of Moultrie opened its doors last year to serve the financial banking needs of the local community. On Friday, it celebrated its first anniversary.

Visitors to the Main Street bank were welcomed with light refreshments, desserts and door prizes.

“We are a traditional community bank with products and services to meet consumer and business needs,” Marc Demott, the market president of the First National Bank of Moultrie, said in an interview on Friday.

With local members on the Board of Directors, the bank provides local decision-making to local people, Demott said. The bank also has local investors.

Demott said when the bank opened, a goal was set for them to meet. 

“The goal was exceeded before the first year anniversary,” Demott said.

Demott announced at the celebration that the bank will soon open an interactive drive-through facility on a vacant lot on First Street Southwest where the old YMCA was formerly located. 

“We will soon break ground,” he said.

Demott said the First National Bank of Moultrie is proud to offer a friendly personal experience to their customers.
