Donna Lunsford at the McDonough, Ga branch is always so helpful. We have stayed with Ameris Bank even after moving to Ellijay, Ga because of her. I wish all bank employees were like her. As long as she is employed there we will remain with Ameris Bank.

Banking with Ameris Bank has been extremely positive. After banking with a larger national bank, I have found the local service from Ameris Bank to be refreshing. My banker, Kathy is the best!

Worst bank I ever been with. Currently banking with them and hate it. Looking for a new bank. They are mishandling my money and its hard to track where its going.

If you have payments return only twice due to fraud or any other issue, they will not take any form of payments over the phone. The only option you have is to mail it in or western union which is another fee. I hate this mortgage company so ready for them to sale it to another bank.

Ameris Bank took over the lease on my car, and I moved to another state they wanted me to pay my balance in full around $2k to get the title sent to the DMV. I paid the car off and they lost my original title and had to send off for a new one, and when I went to trade my car the one, they sent was not the right one and it took me drive 6 hrs to Jackson MS to and back to get the thing straightened out. All i got from them was we are sorry. Avoid using them for loans.

Ameris Bank cleared a fraudulent $50,000.00 check, payable to an unknown party and bearing a forged electronic signature, without my authorization or confirmation. This lack of due diligence is unacceptable, especially since the bank applies precautionary measures for small $100 Zelle transactions. Ameris Bank has provided no official written communication or final closure on this investigation. My legal counsel's attempts to obtain an update have been met with silence. I demand an immediate, official written response outlining the final decision on this claim. The failure to provide resolution is appalling.

Very deceptive about fees, terrible customer service. Exorbitant fees. Worst bank I’ve ever financed with. Save yourself money and a headache and go elsewhere.
