The South Financial Group and its affiliated companies are committed to the growth
and financial well-being of the communities in which we serve.
As a part of our community development lending and investment strategy, Carolina First and Mercantile Bank
demonstrate their commitment to the provision of safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for low-income
residents throughout our footprint. Through our partnerships and associate volunteer and outreach efforts,
we provide both technical assistance and financial support to over 100 organizations throughout the markets
we serve. In many cases, bank personnel serve in various leadership capacities on the boards and committees
of these organizations, providing critical leadership and technical expertise to assist in furthering their
community development missions.
