Where SFBS is headed
ServisFirst is the anti-fintech story. A Birmingham-headquartered commercial bank with roughly $17 billion in assets, run by people who think spending money on branches is a form of self-harm. The business model is one page long: hire a proven commercial lender in a Sunbelt city, give them equity, let them bring their book with them, keep the branch count near zero, and let the efficiency ratio do the compounding. It has worked for two decades and it is working harder now that the regional bank cohort spent 2023-2024 stapling itself back together after the SVB unwind.
