By early 2018, we completed a merger with St. Martin Bank, which added three banking center locations to Jeff Davis Parish. We are still headquartered in Lafayette, and we have expanded our footprint into communities across south Louisiana, Greater Houston and Natchez, Mississippi. While the expansion has been impressive and welcomed, the core goal remains – focus on the needs of the people, businesses, and communities we serve.
