to State Bank and Trust Company, Macon, GA

Bank locations will reopen as branches of State Bank and Trust Company during
regular business hours.
Your transferred deposits will be separately insured from any accounts

months after the failure of The Buckhead Community Bank. Checks
that were drawn on The Buckhead Community Bank that did not
clear before the institution closed will be honored as long as there are
sufficient funds in the account.

by calling 1-800-405-8028.
