First Partners Bank
First Partners Bank (formerly SouthCity Bank) is a Vestavia Hills-based bank chartered in 2007. The bank's CEO and president is Elam Holley, Jr, former CEO of Peoples Bank. Billy Owens is chairman of the board.
The bank's original headquarters and first retail location is at 1360 Montgomery Highway, in the Vestridge Commons shopping center.
Frank Petrusnek and Greg Clark were initially slated to take the roles of CEO and president, but they were rejected by state regulators. Holley was tapped soon after, with Petrusnek and Clark joining the Board of Directors.
In 2012 the bank rebranded as "First Partners". In 2013 the bank moved its headquarters into the newly-renovated Southern Life & Health Insurance building on Highland Avenue.
