Newton Federal Bank was originally organized as Newton County Building and Loan Association under the Laws of the State of Georgia on November 14, 1928. W.C. MeGahee was the founder. A Federal Charter was granted on January 13, 1947, and the Association became Newton Federal Savings and Loan Association.
What is the bank model?
Our expanded services provide our clients with more opportunity than available with many other banks. As a successful business bank we invested in technology, service and infrastructure within our organization rather than creating an infrastructure between bank branches. We built Newton Federal this way to reduce our overhead and provide our clients with a better banking experience.
