Wallis Bank, a Houston-based full-service community bank, has opened a new branch in Atlanta, Georgia. Located on 1710 Mount Vernon Road, this new location is the first Wallis Bank location in Georgia. 

"Over the last 30 years we've seen an exponential amount of growth throughout Texas in Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, as well as in Los Angeles, California," stated Asif Dakri, Chief Executive Officer at Wallis Bank. "The decision to expand our presence into Georgia was a logical step in our business growth strategy, following the success of our recent branch openings. We look forward to providing the community in Atlanta, Georgia with financial services that are unsurpassed in customer satisfaction."

Dakri elaborated on the organization's commitment to providing unparalleled banking services. "As we continue to expand, Wallis Bank will offer the same personalized service we've provided since 1906. We will remain the same trustworthy banking partner to all of our current and future clients, and we look forward to the growth Wallis Bank plans to make in the years to come." 

In addition to national expansion, Wallis Bank has recently undergone rebranding, launching a new look and feel, as well as additional services to enhance customer experience and online security. Wallis Bank was recently ranked #5 on the Independent Community Bankers of America's (ICBA) Best of the Best community banks ($3 million to $1 billion), and #27 on S&P Global Marketing Intelligence's List of Best-Performing community banks of 2018 (under $3 billion in assets).
