United Community is enhancing its commitment to small businesses by appointing Jami Bucy as Director of Business Banking to lead segment expansion.

“The additional focus and investment in business banking reflects its importance and our commitment to better serve our customers,” said Abraham Cox, chief consumer and small business banking officer at United Community. “As small businesses navigate an increasingly complex financial landscape, they need a trusted partner who can provide not only capital but also local expertise and guidance. Jami brings both passion and a successful track record of serving customers in this space. In partnership with market leadership and local teams, we are confident this focus will strengthen our go-to-market efforts with small to mid-sized companies, creating additional opportunities for growth for United while better supporting our customers and the communities we serve.”

Bucy joined United Community in 2021 as a commercial relationship manager and is a graduate of the United Leadership Academy. In her new role, she oversees strategy and sales for business banking, partnering closely with product, credit and SBA teams, as well as United Community’s state presidents and their regional teams.

Bucy brings more than 35 years of experience in business and commercial banking, including a long tenure at Compass Bank, where she built her expertise in serving business clients.

“I’m honored to step into this new role and lead United Community’s business banking efforts,” said Bucy. “With such a talented team around me, I look forward to leveraging my experience to shape a strategy that helps businesses grow, thrive and succeed.”
