A little more than three years after opening, Local Bank is showing steady and accelerating growth. “After building a solid foundation in its first full year, the bank saw a significant surge in customer growth in 2025, opening more than 700 new accounts. That momentum has continued into 2026, with new account growth pacing nearly 75% ahead of the same period last year, a clear indicator of increasing market share and brand strength in a short period of time,” said the press release.

“Our growth story is especially meaningful given how recently we opened our doors,” said Scott Christoff, Chief Executive Officer. “The acceleration we are seeing today reflects not only the strength of our foundation, but the impact of the leadership Brittany and Andy have brought to the organization in a very short time.”

Brittany Floyd

Floyd came on board at Local Bank as Executive Vice President of Marketing, Business Development, and Retail Banking, bringing more than 15 years of experience in the financial industry while leading all retail branch operations. During her time with the organization, she has streamlined the bank’s marketing approach, broadened its brand visibility, and enhanced business development initiatives across all markets.

“The growth we are seeing is a testament to the incredible team members I have the privilege of working alongside every day,” said Floyd. “Their dedication and talent make every achievement possible.”

Deeply rooted in the community, Floyd serves as Board Chair of Junior Achievement of Tuscaloosa County, advancing Local Bank’s commitment to engagement and financial education. Her leadership and impact have earned her several recognitions, including the United in Service WAYLA (West Alabama Young Leaders Award).

Andy Voyles

Voyles joined Local Bank as President of Mortgage, where he has been instrumental in strengthening the structure and scalability of the bank’s mortgage division. “He has worked diligently to clean up and refine processes, strengthen policies and procedures, and improve overall operational efficiency,” said the press release. With over 25 years of experience in residential lending and mortgage banking, he brings deep industry expertise to the role.

"The success we’re seeing in our mortgage division reflects the dedication of an amazing team. By refining processes and supporting our people, we’re positioned to grow responsibly while delivering the best experience for our customers," said Voyles.

“Brittany and Andy have elevated every area they touch,” added Christoff. “From retail and marketing to mortgage and operations, their leadership is directly contributing to the accelerated growth we are experiencing today.”
