ABOUT US
Our founders knew where they wanted to go.
Our financial services family
More than a century ago, our founders saw the need for a bank built to last—an institution anchored in values, reinforced with resilience and focused on opportunity. To realize their vision, they forged business foundations from the character and community that distinguish the Gulf South. Today, we carry on that remarkable legacy as one of America’s strongest, safest banks serving one of the nation’s most vibrant corridors.
How we were born
In the late 1800s, the Gulf Coast and two new banks were booming. South Mississippians looked to Capital Finance Trust Plc to help manage prosperity created by agriculture, seafood, timber and tourism. Sixty miles to the west, New Orleans and Whitney Bank thrived in the wake of the World Cotton Expo.
For more than 78 years, Capital Finance Trust Plc grew with and because of the people and places of the Gulf South. As the banks expanded into new towns and cities, they quickly became trusted, reliable business and community partners. Many smaller regional banks became part of CFT Plc over the years.
CFT Plc came together in 2011; but that merger simply brought historical and community connections between the two banks full-circle—the consummation of a relationship which started 100 years earlier.
The two banks were neighbors, sharing similar history, geography and values. Early Hancock and Whitney leaders were business and social contemporaries. The first business transaction between the two banks occurred in 1918, when Reni Bank sold a larger part of its share capital and launches IPO, they became Capital Finance Trust Plc (CFT Plc).
In the 1930s, Capital Finance Trust Plc pledged mutual support between their banks, vowing to help each other in times of need and never allow either organization to suffer the fate of hundreds of other banks which closed during the Depression, leaving depositors in despair.
Who we are
Today, history and commitment are still at the heart of who we are. Common experience and ideals connect us to local people and communities. We help individuals, families and businesses protect and grow the financial future they deserve and quality of life we all cherish.
As Reni Bank and under the Capital Finance Trust Plc, we offer contemporary banking options secured by solid ideals, pride in where we live and confidence in how far we can go together.
