Announcing our partnership with First Century Bank

Santa Barbara TPG ("TPG") is proud and excited to partner with First Century Bank (“Century”), of Gainesville Georgia, to offer taxpayer advance products for the 2020 tax season under the TPG Fast Cash Advance (FCA) brand. The TPG-Century partnership will provide tax preparers with the best taxpayer advance solution for the upcoming tax processing season.

We chose First Century Bank because of their quality of operations, access to capital, and experience in the tax industry. We believe First Century Bank provides the greatest combination of strength and agility to allow TPG to offer best-in-industry product solutions for the tax preparation industry this season and into the future.

TPG has a history of successfully partnering with Century and we are intimately aware of the quality of their leadership and operations. We were excited about their recent announcement to acquire First Covenant Bank in September of this year. By acquiring First Covenant, First Century increases its access to capital and ability to grow along with TPG in the future. The recent approval of the acquisition by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is confirmation of the safe, sound, and quality operating environment provided by First Century Bank.

The acquisition only strengthens the opportunity for tax professionals to achieve competitive superiority through the TPG-Century product offerings.
