In Florida, Ameris will acquire BofA banking centers in Blounstown, Cross City, Defuniak Springs, High Springs, Jasper, Lake City and Live Oak.
According to Matthew Daily, the move forms part of the company’s re-evaluation of its retail structure as more customers embrace online banking.
Daily added that the decision to sell the locations instead of shutting them down was made to mitigate impact on jobs as well as on retail customers whose deposit accounts would be affected.
