A group in Florida is looking to form New South Bank in Tampa.
Organizers filed an application with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. on April 17. The application wasn’t immediately available.
A website for the proposed bank said it plans to offer a full range of commercial and retail banking products, with an emphasis on small business lending. The bank will offer SBA and USDA-guaranteed loan programs.
