First United Security Bank Announces Name Change to First US Bank

THOMASVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 19, 2014--First United Security Bank, the wholly owned banking subsidiary of United Security Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: USBI), today announced that, effective as of Monday, December 15, 2014, the Bank has changed its name to “First US Bank.” The name change is part of an overall rebranding effort by the Bank and reflects a migration to the Bank’s website address that has been in use for many years.

“Our Board of Directors and executive management team understand the increased value of name recognition and awareness of our brand as we grow into new areas. A more concise name helps accomplish this, both with our presence on the internet and in more traditional ways,” stated James F. House, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Management and staff serving current customers will not change. We are the same Bank that our customers have depended upon – a solid, strong and enduring independent community bank,” said Mr. House. “We will continue to be community-minded and customer-focused to meet the credit and deposit needs of the areas that we serve.”

Additional information regarding the Bank’s name change is available on the Bank’s website. Customers are encouraged to contact a branch in their area with any questions.

Established in 1952, the Bank serves its customers through its 19 offices in Brent, Butler, Calera, Centreville, Coffeeville, Columbiana, Fulton, Gilbertown, Grove Hill, Harpersville, Jackson, McCalla, Thomasville, Tuscaloosa and Woodstock. The Bank holds more than $550 million in assets, is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and is an Equal Housing Lender. For more information, contact us at the Bank’s website, www.firstusbank.com or by mail to P.O. Box 249, Thomasville, AL 36784.
