Community Bank

One of the South's fastest-growing financial institutions did not originate in a large, metropolitan area or grow with the usual bank business plan. Community Bank started more than 115 years ago in a small timber community in east central Mississippi and has grown by employing a unique approach to one of America's most routine industries. From 1995 until today, with few acquisitions, Community Bancshares has grown from $200 million in assets and a couple of offices to more than $4.2 billion in assets, 51 offices and over 815 employees in four states.
