Later asked to expand talent and generalist support to Credit, Risk, Wealth Management, Trust, and Securities. Our company was founded in 1888 with a simple act of kindness. At Eagle & Phenix Mill in Columbus, Georgia, a mill worker’s dress tangled in the factory machinery. To the surprise of her co-workers, money sewn into the hem spilled across the floor. She believed her dress was the safest place to keep her savings. G. Gunby Jordan, the mill's secretary and treasurer, witnessed the incident and offered to keep her money in the mill safe and pay her monthly interest on the deposits. He soon offered the same service to all the mill workers. These first deposits inspired Mr. Jordan to establish the institution that became Synovus. More than 130 years have passed since the mill worker’s dress tore. Mr. Jordan and a group of banking pioneers built our company's foundation on integrity, character, and principle: treating people right and doing the right thing. That foundation has endured across the years, with our basic values of superior leadership, trusting relationships, and excellence in all we do guiding the company forward along a path of profitable growth and financial strength.
