The word synovus unites synergy and “novus,” which is Latin for new. The synergistic team at Synovus Bank works to bring new, innovative ideas to the world of banking. Synovus began in 1888 with a simple act of kindness. They believe people are at the heart of every company’s success, and for nearly 135 years, they have helped business customers achieve their financial goals.

The company is at the forefront of digital banking and customized solutions. At the same time, branch personnel focus on the unique needs of individual customers, fostering meaningful and lasting relationships.
“We exist for the customers, which is why it’s important that we are community-oriented, and we get to know our clients while still having the backing to prove their money is safe and secure,” said Bill Moore, market president in Tallahassee.
Each Synovus team member carries around a card with the company’s customer covenant, a reminder that the goal each day is meeting customer needs.
