HOW IS THE ACQUISITION OF PRIMESOUTH BANK BENEFITING CB&S BANK AND ITS CUSTOMERS? “The combination of PrimeSouth Bank and CB&S Bank allows CB&S Bank to further expand in the Birmingham market, one of the key growth markets in Alabama. We have wanted to expand in central Alabama for some time, so it was a perfect fit to partner with a high-quality community bank like PrimeSouth,’ stated Mike Ross, President and CEO of CB&S Bank and a native of the River Region. “I am thrilled to be able to do business where I was born and raised.”
