Synovus Bank (founded 1888 in Columbus Georgia as Columbus Savings Bank after W.C. Bradley reportedly discovered a $5 gold piece sewn into a cotton-mill worker’s dress and was inspired to open a bank for working-class people; reorganized 1989 as Synovus Financial Corp. with a portmanteau name combining “synergy” and “novus”; publicly traded NYSE: SNV) is a Southeast US super-regional bank with about 250 branches across Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee, headquartered in Columbus Georgia.
The questions readers actually ask: what time does Synovus Bank open today, are branches open Saturday, are they open Sunday, are they open on Christmas and Thanksgiving and federal-bank holidays, what hours the drive-thru keeps, and where the nearest Synovus branch is located.
Two Synovus Bank specific things worth knowing: most branches run 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday with some branches open 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM Saturday (many branches closed Saturday entirely), all branches closed Sunday and on all 11 Federal Reserve bank holidays per year. Synovus operated as a federation of 30-plus separately-branded community banks across the Southeast for decades before consolidating all those community banks under the single Synovus Bank brand in 2010; the older community-bank names (CB&T, NBSC, etc.) sometimes still appear on legacy paper deposit slips and at older branch ATMs.

What does the name Synovus mean?
Synovus is a portmanteau of "synergy" and "novus" (Latin for "new") coined in 1989 when Columbus Bank and Trust Company (the original 1888 Columbus Georgia bank) reorganized as the multi-bank holding company Synovus Financial Corp. The made-up name signaled the new federation structure that brought together 30-plus separately-branded community banks across the Southeast under a single corporate parent. In 2010 Synovus consolidated all those community banks under the single Synovus Bank brand; older community-bank names (Columbus Bank and Trust, NBSC of South Carolina, and others) are no longer in active branch use but sometimes still appear on legacy paper deposit slips and older branch signage.
What is the Synovus Columbus Georgia origin story?
Synovus traces back to the 1888 founding of Columbus Savings Bank in Columbus Georgia. The founding story (often retold in Synovus marketing): at the Eagle and Phenix Textile Mills in Columbus, a young woman worker caught her dress in the cotton-mill machinery; mill executive W.C. Bradley reached in to free her dress and discovered a $5 gold piece sewn into the dress lining (her life savings, hidden in the dress because she had no bank account or safe place to keep money). Bradley was struck by the lack of basic banking access for working-class textile workers and helped found the Columbus Savings Bank that year to serve them. The Bradley family remained associated with the bank's holding companies through the 20th century, and Bradley's family-controlled Bradley Company industrial conglomerate continues to be a major Synovus shareholder.
What federal bank holidays does Synovus observe?
Synovus Bank is closed on all 11 Federal Reserve bank holidays each year: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day (third Monday January), Presidents Day (third Monday February), Memorial Day (last Monday May), Juneteenth (June 19; added in 2021), Independence Day (July 4), Labor Day (first Monday September), Columbus Day (second Monday October), Veterans Day (November 11), Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. ATM and digital banking remain available 24/7 on bank-holiday closure days. Note: Columbus Day is observed by Synovus the same way as every other federally-regulated US bank, which is coincidence given that the bank is headquartered in Columbus Georgia.
