Fulton County Puts Millions Of Federal Relief Dollars In Minority-Owned Banks

After years of planning, Loyal Trust Bank opened in Johns Creek in January of 2020. Just a few weeks later, the pandemic hit.

Chairwoman Rose Jarboe says things were slow as COVID-19 began to close things down. But then businesses started turning to Loyal Trust for PPP loans.

“Personally, I got calls that said ‘I banked with so-and-so bank for so many years, but they’re not taking my application, they’re not helping us,’” said Jarboe. “And I said ‘we’re here to help you.’”
