Descriptiontext

Signature Bank of Georgia was a privately held community bank headquartered in Georgia that provided traditional commercial and consumer banking services, including commercial loans, home loans, deposit products (checking and savings), and related personal and business banking products. The institution served individual and business customers across the Georgia market, with a geographic focus on the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell metropolitan statistical area (MSA), operating through a regional branch network of full-service banking offices.

At acquisition, Signature Bank of Georgia held approximately $195.5 million in loans and $229.8 million in deposits. The bank had an employee base in the 11-50 range and was described as serving SMB and consumer segments in a single-state geography, consistent with the operating profile of a sub-$500 million-asset community bank. The company's revenue mechanics were typical of community banking: net interest income earned on its loan portfolio, supplemented by deposit-related and treasury fees. No proprietary digital platform, AI capabilities, technology stack details, or pricing schedules were disclosed in the available sources; the brand carried the OTC pink ticker symbol SGBG prior to acquisition.

Signature Bank of Georgia was acquired by First Community Corporation (the holding company for First Community Bank) effective January 8, 2026, in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $50 million at a December 31, 2025 valuation reference point. Signature Bank shareholders received 0.6410 shares of First Community common stock for each share held, and two former Signature Bank directors joined First Community's board. The combined entity reported more than $2.3 billion in assets, $2.1 billion in deposits, and $1.5 billion in loans, operating 23 full-service offices across South Carolina and Georgia. As of the acquisition date, Signature Bank of Georgia no longer operates as an independent entity, with former customers now served through First Community Bank's expanded regional network.
