M&A Opportunity The Piedmont Bank is undergoing a merger with United Bankshares, with Piedmont Bank integrating into United Bank. This presents a window to offer transition support services, core system integration, data migration, and risk/compliance advisory to ensure a smooth consolidation.
Banking Growth Revenue is in the mid tens of millions range and the firm has pursued acquisitions (WestSide Bank, Walton Funding minority stake) and expansion within Georgia. This indicates active growth and potential demand for scalable technology, cloud hosting, and cybersecurity solutions to support expansion.
Lending Activity Recent loan activity includes an $8M construction loan for a build-to-rent project, signaling appetite for commercial lending products and related fintech capabilities. Opportunities exist to cross-sell loan origination platforms, CRM for commercial clients, and back-office underwriting tools.
Community Engagement Active sponsorships and naming rights partnerships with local institutions (Kennesaw amphitheater) show emphasis on local market presence. This could open doors for regional marketing analytics services, event-based promotions platforms, and community-focused digital engagement solutions.
Technology Stack Current tech stack includes WordPress, Shopify, jQuery, PHP, Google Analytics, and standard web tools. There is potential for modernization opportunities such as cybersecurity hardening, modern CMS/e-commerce enhancements, data analytics optimization, and managed cloud services to improve site performance and compliance.
