1999 Annual Report

We can see the future of banking from here.

A word about our new corporate name… while we will still operate Carolina First Bank in South Carolina, our change to The South Financial Group accurately reflects our new, regional focus across the fastest growing area of the country. As a result, we have expanded our super community banking concept into new, profitable markets within the South. Our new name also emphasizes a broad and evolving array of financial services, a "group" designed to meet the many needs of our customers. The South Financial Group. It means being more than simply a bank. It means customer options, customer choice, and customer service, all with a more regional, more farsighted vision.
