MIDDLE GEORGIA (April 5, 2021) - Planters First Bank is excited to announce the launch of its new website and improved Checking accounts on April 5th. The new website features a fresh new look and easy access to important features and content. The website's specific changes include easier and more convenient access to multiple banking portals such as online banking, credit cards as well as reaching our Solution Center. It also features a quick link to Video Banking and Planters Perks offered through BaZing. Lastly, the website address is changing to www.bankplanters.com. This change will align with the enhanced branding and revised logo that we introduced in 2020.
Our Checking accounts will proudly feature a service branded as Planters Perks. This service is powered by BaZing, which is a money-saving benefit that includes several great features such as a nationwide discount network, gas rewards, roadside assistance, cell phone protection, ID Theft Aid, and Bill Shark, to name a few. This new service is assigned to the Planters Premium Checking and Planters Perks accounts. Planters First Bank will continue to offer a basic account called Planters Anywhere for customers that may decide to choose the BaZing benefits at a later time. Planters First Bank will be the first financial institution in Georgia to offer gas rewards through BaZing. To learn more about Planters Perks, powered by BaZing, click here.
