About Ameris Bancorp
About Ameris Bancorp
Ameris Bancorp held $27.52 billion in total assets and $22.38 billion in total deposits at December 31, 2025, operating through 163 full-service banking offices in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Net interest income comprised 77.6% of the company's 2025 revenue, with the $22.14 billion loan portfolio representing 80.5% of total assets. Ameris Bank holds a Georgia state charter supervised primarily by the FDIC.
The company earns revenue primarily through the spread between interest earned on loans and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Commercial real estate loans represent the largest loan segment, followed by residential mortgage originations—most sold in the secondary market—commercial and industrial credits, consumer loans, and agricultural credits. National lending channels include equipment finance, insurance premium finance loans made to borrowers throughout the United States, and SBA-guaranteed credits. Fee income from mortgage banking supplements net interest income but is sensitive to rate movements: rising rates reduce origination volume, while falling rates accelerate prepayments. Core deposits from individuals and businesses in the southeastern markets provide primary funding, supplemented by selectively used brokered deposits and FHLB advances. Competition for loans and deposits comes from other commercial banks, thrift institutions, internet banks, credit unions, and FinTech firms.

Funding stability poses a material risk for Ameris: 47.7% of deposits were uninsured at December 31, 2025, a level that could expose the company to outflows if confidence deteriorated—as occurred industry-wide in spring 2023, when failures at peer institutions prompted customers to move funds toward systemically important banks. The 10-K notes growing competition from FinTech firms, stablecoins, and internet banks as long-run pressures on deposit retention, compounding the structural vulnerability of short-duration deposit liabilities funding long-duration loan assets. The FDIC and Georgia Department of Banking and Finance each retain authority to restrict deposit rate-setting and brokered-deposit access.
