Bank of North Georgia Offering Prepaid Card

, a division of Synovus Bank, has announced the availability of its prepaid Synovus Connections Card at all Synovus Bank divisions. Synovus Bank developed the card as a payment alternative to a traditional checking account. 

The Synovus Connections Card works like a check card, but there is no checking account or credit check required. The card is appealing to customers with a specific need for a prepaid card, and as an affordable option for individuals currently paying check cashing fees because they do not have a checking account. 

The Synovus Connections Card allows customers to get cash at the ATM, make purchases most everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted, get cash back at point of sale, and make purchases online or over the phone. The card can be reloaded with no fee at any Synovus Bank division branch with cash and through direct deposit. 

“We are excited to bring this new payment option to our customers because it gives them a prepaid card they can use for a wide variety of purposes,” said Wayne Akins, Synovus Chief Community Banking Officer. “Our card is a great alternative to a checking account, is easy to load, and offers all the conveniences our customers expect.”

Bank of North Georgia, a division of Synovus Bank, operates 38 branches in 15 metro Atlanta counties. Branches are located in Alpharetta (2), Atlanta (2), Bowdon, Bremen, Buford, Canton, Carrollton (3), Conyers (2), Covington (2), Cumming, Dacula, Douglasville (2), Dunwoody, Fayetteville, Hiram, Jasper, Johns Creek, Kennesaw, Marietta (2), McDonough, Norcross, Peachtree City, , Sandy Springs, Suwanee, Tallapoosa, Temple, Tucker, Villa Rica and Woodstock. For more information, visit www.bankofnorthgeorgia.com.
