Classic City Bank… Banking the way it should be.

After recent market disruptions and big bank disinterest, the Athens banking market has been left with a need for local and nimble decision-making capabilities. Businesses and individuals are missing out on creative solutions and personal service that only local banks can provide. With over 100 years of combined experience, the management of Classic City Bank is excited to bring our friends and neighbors the banking experience they deserve.

Bill Hopper, Founding Member

C. William "Bill" Hopper III was a founding member of Classic City Bank.  Bill served the Athens community as a banker from 1983 until 2022.  Community was a primary tenant of Bill’s values, and with the help and vision of many friends, his passion for building a community bank for Athens led to the creation of Classic City Bank in 2020.  Bill served as CEO and Chairman until his passing in late 2022.  Today, Classic City Bank continues to live out Bill's motto, "Banking the Way It Should Be",  by building relationships with our customers, keeping decision making local, and providing the highest level of customer service.
