Southeastern Bank is proud to announce the opening of its newest branch in Hinesville, extending the bank’s commitment to personal, relationship-driven banking to another community in southeast Georgia. Located at 146 E. ML King, Jr. Drive, the Hinesville location is a full-service branch, open and ready to serve the greater Liberty County community.
The new Hinesville location reflects Southeastern Bank’s long-standing belief that banking works best when it’s local. Since 1888, the bank has built its reputation on knowing its customers by name, understanding the needs of the businesses and families it serves, and making decisions close to home rather than from a distant corporate office. Opening a full-service branch in Hinesville is just the next step in a story that’s always been about putting people first.
“For over 135 years, Southeastern Bank has focused on exceptional customer service and community banking, and we’re proud to extend our services to the Liberty County market,” said Jay Torbert, President & CEO of Southeastern Bank. “Longevity doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when a bank treats its customers like neighbors, because they are.”
Meet the Hinesville Team
Leading the new branch as VP & Market Leader is Hinesville native Jason Floyd. Jason’s roots in the community run deep, resulting in banking relationships built on genuine familiarity rather than mere transactions.
Joining Jason is Whitney Schmidt, AVP & Assistant Branch Manager. Along with Jason, Whitney will work directly with individuals, homebuyers, and business owners across the community to help them navigate everything from consumer loans to small business financing, providing the personal approach on which Southeastern Bank prides itself.
“We are committed to the Hinesville community,” said Floyd. “Our customers won’t be talking to a call center in another state or waiting on approvals from someone who has never set foot in the community. They’ll be working with a team that has a real stake in seeing our area thrive.”
The bank invites Hinesville residents and business owners to stop by the new branch, meet the team, and experience Southeastern’s brand of community banking firsthand.
