ABC Bancorp in Moultrie, Ga., will rename itself Ameris Bancorp on Dec. 1 and consolidate its 12 subsidiary banks into a single charter under the Ameris Bank name.
The $1.4 billion-asset company announced the plan Thursday; it said its stock symbol will remain ABCB.
It had announced in August that it would consolidate charters but said then that it had not picked a name.
