Ameris Bank opened a new branch at 200 W. Forsyth Street in the heart of downtown Jacksonville today, expanding its service to the city with retail banking, business banking and mortgage lending.

Ameris has completed an extensive renovation of the ground floor to modernize the 5,250-square foot space. The new location employs more than 10 people, bringing a total of more than 330 Ameris employees to metro Jacksonville.

“Our investment in the new branch demonstrates our commitment to the development of downtown while also expanding services to businesses and individual customers across Jacksonville,” said Emily Dawkins, Ameris Bank State President for Florida. “Locating a branch in the emergent downtown area allows us to be even more accessible and responsive to the needs of our customers and community partners.”
