SouthCrest Bank announced the appointment of 30-year community banking and financial services veteran Scott Hudgins as Senior Vice President, Commercial Banking Manager for North Fulton and Forsyth Counties.
 
Hudgins has previously held senior executive and director positions at four leading community banks. His appointment is another major step in SouthCrest Bank’s strategy to become a dominant commercial, retail and business bank for the Atlanta MSA.          

“I am very excited to be with a bank that is focused on the Atlanta region,” said Hudgins, who will be based in SouthCrest Bank’s Cumming office. “SouthCrest Bank matches the technology of larger banks, but all the decision making is local and flexible, made by veteran bankers right here in Atlanta who know and have been part of community banking in Atlanta for many years. My personal banking philosophy is based on relationships, and SouthCrest offers an excellent platform for the continued growth of my customers.”
