The FDIC's Consent Order was associated with certain deficiencies in Ameris Bank's Anti-Money Laundering and Bank Secrecy Act (AML/BSA) compliance program that arose out of regulatory examinations conducted in 2016.

"Termination of the order affirms that Ameris Bank has complied with all regulatory requirements and expectations," said Edwin W. Hortman, Jr., President and CEO of Ameris Bancorp.  "We have built a scalable program that is staffed with experts who will be able to meet the demands of a growing bank.  I am very proud of the work that was accomplished across our bank by virtually every member of our staff in this initiative."
