Tallahassee, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/13/2013 -- Although there are many corporate banks available across the nation, community banks are still the preferred choice of many people looking to protect their assets.

For over a century, individuals in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama have depended on Capital City Bank for all of their banking needs. With roughly $2.6 billion in assets, the banking institution is one of the largest local financial companies in the United States. Capital City Bank is best known for its wide variety of banking resources, including traditional deposit and credit services, asset management, trusts, mortgage banking, data processing, and securities brokerage services.

Recently, Capital City Bank was named the recipient of the 2013 Small Business of The Year Award. The award, presented by the Alachua Chamber of Commerce, was given to Capital City Bank at a banquet hosted on May 14, 2013.
