July 30, 2013 - PRLog -- What’s in a name?  Plenty, when it comes to communicating what you do. That’s why Abbeville Savings and Loan in Abbeville, SC, is in the process of changing its name for the third time in the bank’s 106 year history, and is inviting the community to participate.

“The name of our bank has evolved over the years to communicate the products and services that were important at that time in history,’ explains Andy Timmerman, President and CEO of Abbeville Saving and Loan. ‘Our original name was Building and Loan Association of Abbeville, which was followed by Abbeville Savings and Loan Association, and then in 2001, just Abbeville Savings and Loan. In fact, in 2001 we also changed our charter from a savings and loan to a bank, but the name stayed the same. It’s now time to choose a name that better reflects the extensive banking services we offer.”

The bank offers a wide range of financial products and services to its customers.  In addition to personal, business and other types of loans, Abbeville Savings and Loan offers checking and savings accounts, as well as small business services including checking accounts and loans. The bank also offers ATM cards, the convenience of online banking, and will soon add a mobile banking option (banking on your smartphone).

“We want people to know that we offer the same products and services as other area banks, but with more convenience and less hassle,” said Timmerman. “In fact, we make all banking decisions right here, and all deposits and loans stay locally to benefit our community. At our bank, you won’t be dialing an 800 number when you need to speak with someone; real people answer the phone.”

Name the Bank contest participants are invited to vote for their choice of potential new names. The name choices were selected based on input from several community focus groups, recommendations from individuals within the community, and internal staff discussions with bank employees.          

The three name options are:

Abbeville First Bank
Abbeville State Bank
Abbeville Heritage Bank


People can vote online at info@abbevillesavings.com or they can stop by the bank to cast their ballot. The bank is located at 205 South Main Street in Abbeville. People who come into the bank to vote will receive a free gift as a thank you for stopping in. The last day to vote is August 16, and the new name will be announced in mid-October.
