Vallant Financial Announces Strategic Transformation for Vallant Bank

On Wednesday, June 17, 2026, Vallant Financial, Inc., (OTCQX:VLNT; “Vallant” or “we”) announced it had completed the systems conversion and rebranding of its subsidiary bank, Vallant Bank.

Combined two high-performing, locally focused banks with no market overlap to create a leading Georgia community bank with approximately $3.8 billion in assets, serving communities across many of the state’s most dynamic growth corridors.

Represented a true partnership, uniting the top talent of both institutions with highly aligned visions, cultures and customer-centered community bank philosophies.
