Altamaha Bank and Trust Partners with Teslar Software

We are excited to announce our partnership with Altamaha Bank and Trust!

Vidalia, GA-based Altamaha Bank and Trust has proudly served Southeast Georgia since 1946. With a focus on providing personalized service, trusted guidance, and proven expertise, the bank continues to evolve their technology and operations to meet the needs of today’s customers while staying rooted in their mission to help build strong financial futures for the communities they serve.

As part of their continued investment in innovation and operational excellence, Altamaha Bank and Trust is partnering with Teslar to streamline lending operations, strengthen exception tracking, and provide a more unified experience for both employees and customers.

“For us, Teslar checked all the right boxes,” said Shan Venable, Chief Technology Officer. “We looked at a lot of fintechs, but the features Teslar offers and their long-term experience integrating with both our core and imaging systems fit exactly what we needed. We didn’t want a platform that requires large resource commitments or dedicated staff to manage. We wanted something intuitive and easy for our employees to use.”

Venable emphasized the bank’s need for a more robust exception tracking system. “We have a great imaging system, but it just doesn’t deliver on exception reporting. Teslar gives us that reporting piece, plus tools like the portal, document scanning, and retail pipeline that really round out the solution.”

From the lending side, Chief Lending Officer Jake Cleghorn highlighted the value of simplification. “This reminds me of when we transitioned to Teams,” he said. “We had three or four different ways to communicate, and Teams brought it all into one place. That’s what Teslar will do for us on the loan side—it consolidates the four or five different places we manage loan processes into a single platform. I like knowing I can log into one spot and see everything I need in one place.”

We’re proud to partner with Altamaha Bank and Trust as they continue investing in tools that support their team, simplify their operations, and strengthen their ability to serve customers across Southeast Georgia.
