 Capital
Bank, initially Fort Oglethorpe State Bank, was chartered
by a group of local business leaders in 1963. Mr. Drew
Haskins Jr., a local pharmacist served as Chairman.
Mr. Haskins realized a need in the community for a bank
that catered to local business as well as offered excellent
customer service and competitive rates to all customers.
In 1986, a new branch was opened in Ringgold, Georgia.
At this time the bank's name was changed to Capital
Bank to reflect the bank's desire to serve the entire
community. In 1989, to mark the 25th anniversary, Capital
Bank opened a new two-story office building at 625 Battlefield
Parkway in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.
 Today,
almost forty years since the bank's founding, Capital
Bank is still locally owned and independent. To continue
its goal of excellent customer service, Capital Bank
has invested heavily in upgrading the bank's technology.
From 2000 to 2002, Capital Bank replaced its computer
system, offered new products such as overdraft shelter,
electronic check conversion, and check imaging.
Current owner and CEO, Dr. Joe Haskins, son of founder
Mr. Drew Haskins Jr., states, "My father's
vision was to remain a locally owned, independent
bank that provided excellent customer service. The
goals and vision my father had for the bank have not
changed and I am fortunate to be able to carry this
vision into the new millennium." |
