Company

Company overview

Capital City Bank Group Inc owns Capital City Bank, which takes deposits and lends to businesses, households and public-sector customers in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Customer deposits provide its main funding for loans and securities. Borrowers and securities pay interest; after paying interest on deposits and borrowings, the bank retains the difference, its largest source of earnings. Banking services generate most revenue, with additional fees from deposit accounts and bankcards. Capital City Home Loans originates, sells and services residential mortgages, while Capital City Trust Company and Capital City Investments earn fees from managing client assets, trusts and brokerage services.

The business is centered on Florida, with Georgia a smaller market. Much of its lending is secured by real estate, so earnings depend on local borrowers’ ability to repay and property values, as well as the gap between asset yields and funding costs. Retaining deposits is important because they fund loans that cannot generally be sold or called as quickly as customers can withdraw money.

The parent company receives most of its own income through dividends and management fees from Capital City Bank. Those dividends depend on the bank’s earnings and capital, and banking rules limit how much it may distribute to the parent.

Watch Colony’s expansion following its TC Federal Bank acquisition, which added branches in Georgia and Florida, including Tallahassee.

  • United Community Banks, Inc. competes with Capital City for business and personal banking, mortgages and wealth-management customers in Georgia, Florida and Alabama. Its combination of local-bank service and specialist support for larger business customers tests Capital City’s emphasis on relationships and local knowledge.

    Fed Interest Rate Decision

    Capital City Bank earns most of its income from the gap between interest on loans and securities and what it pays depositors, so Federal Reserve rate decisions can change that gap as assets and deposits reprice at different speeds.
