Ameris Bancorp (NYSE: ABCB) is a bank holding company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, that operates Ameris Bank, a regional bank serving retail and commercial customers. Founded in 1971, the company runs through four reporting segments: Banking Division, Retail Mortgage Division, Warehouse Lending Division, and Premium Finance Division, reflecting a diversified business model that extends beyond traditional branch banking.
The company provides a full suite of deposit products, including commercial and retail checking accounts, interest-bearing savings, money market accounts, IRAs, and certificates of deposit. On the lending side, it offers commercial real estate, residential mortgage, agricultural, commercial and industrial, and consumer loans (such as home equity and home improvement loans), as well as specialized products like equipment finance, SBA loans, and commercial insurance premium finance.
Distribution is supported by full-service domestic banking offices alongside mortgage and loan production offices. As a mid-cap U.S. regional bank within the GICS Financials sector, ABCBs segment structure is fairly typical of diversified regional banks that supplement net interest income with fee-generating activities such as mortgage origination, warehouse lending to other mortgage originators, and insurance premium financing.
