“Beyond the Cupola” allows invited customers, community, and team members of Oconee State Bank to have an opportunity to share their stories of success and inspiration, and/or how the Remarkable culture of Oconee State Bank has inspired them to mark lives in their own right.

Leigh Futch & Michelle Versfeld/The Georgia Way

The Career Development program at The Georgia Way is a tiered system that takes their student-athletes through several layers of preparedness. The desired result is that when they are ready to move into life after athletics, the individual student-athletes will:

Have selected a major that relates to their career interests and plans
Know what jobs and careers best suit their interests and skills
Be aware of job and career opportunities in their fields of interest
Have made connections and developed relationships in those fields
Have a resume that includes experience in the forms of job shadowing and internships

Kristi Greer/Oconee State Bank

In the early 1900s, there were banks in all the small towns of Oconee County… Bishop, Bogart, Eastville, Farmington and Watkinsville. When the Depression came along in 1929, all the banks went broke and Oconee County was without a bank for the next 30 years. Farmers and small merchants had to travel to Athens for their banking needs.

In 1958, a group of community leaders recognized the need for a bank in Oconee County and started a process of getting the necessary approval for a state chartered community bank. In 1959, the FDIC approved a community bank and Oconee State Bank opened its doors for business on February 1, 1960 with 3 employees and a small corner office on Main Street in downtown Watkinsville.

Today, Oconee State Bank has 3 full-service financial centers located in Oconee County, GA as well as a website which serves as an “Internet Branch.” The vision of the founders continues today. Oconee State Bank is proud to provide an unparalleled commitment to personalized service, value-added products, and a deep sense of responsibility to the communities they serve.
