SERVISFIRST BANK MONTGOMERY HITS $150 MILLION IN ASSETS

MONTGOMERY, AL - ServisFirst Bank’s Montgomery office announced that it has now exceeded $150 million in total assets with no brokered deposits; ServisFirst Montgomery opened in June 2007 and celebrates its accomplishment in record time.

“Our bank’s success is due to the fact that it is a client-owned bank; our investors are in turn business owners who not only have ownership in the bank, but who are also committed to doing business with the bank and bringing business to the bank,” says Carl Barker, CEO of ServisFirst Montgomery.

ServisFirst – which also operates offices in Birmingham, Huntsville and Dothan – announced in late 2008 that it had, as a whole, exceeded $1 billion in total assets.

Led by Birmingham banking veteran Tom Broughton, ServisFirst Bank opened in Birmingham in 2005 with $35 million in capital.  Its current $1 billion in total assets represents a growth rate of more than 2700% since the company’s inception only three years ago.
