To provide an inspiring career opportunity for dedicated professionals.
A Look at the Past
The BancorpSouth history is a reflection of decades of leadership and innovation. What began over a century ago in a hardware store in the then tiny Verona, MS, now spreads east of Dallas to Saint Louis to west of Atlanta. This tremendous market expansion has been matched by continuous growth in new products and services to help its clients meet and exceed their financial goals.
In 1987, BancorpSouth became Mississippi's first statewide bank with the merger of First Mississippi National Bank. Shortly after the Federal Interstate Banking Law was passed in 1992, BancorpSouth expanded into Tennessee, then into Alabama in 1998 with the merger of Highland Bank in Birmingham.
The millennium brought the merger of First United Bancshares of El Dorado, AR, and with that the addition of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas to BancorpSouth's financial resources.
In 2005, BancorpSouth expanded its Nashville, TN area footprint with a merger that added two Brentwood locations, followed by the opening of a full service banking office in the historic city of Franklin. In 2006, BancorpSouth expanded its footprint by entering into Florida. With its new Destin office, BancorpSouth's Gulf of Mexico coastline now reaches from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, through Mobile and Gulf Shores, Alabama, to Florida's Emerald Coast. In 2007 BancorpSouth entered the Saint Louis and Springfield, Missouri markets through a merger with The Signature Bank of Springfield.
A major driver of this tremendous growth has been the number of services now offered to our customers. The banking law changes of the nineties provided new product and service opportunities such as insurance, brokerage, and more. As a result, the leading commercial insurance agencies in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas became part of BancorpSouth Insurance Services, Inc., ranking among the nation's leaders in non-interest income from insurance products. Plus, BancorpSouth Investment Services, Inc., builds a strong client base both from existing BancorpSouth Bank customers and organic growth.
While BancorpSouth is a large regional bank serving an eight state-market area, it is comprised of community banks close to our customers and the cities and towns we serve. Our local bank presidents have an entrepreneurial spirit and are empowered to make decisions locally. BancorpSouth prides itself in its customer service, and that was even nationally recognized when BancorpSouth Bank was ranked highest in the Southeast region in the J.D. Power and Associates 2008 Retail Banking Satisfaction Study(SM). | |
