Tupelo, Mississippi-based Cadence Bank recently expanded its community banking and commercial and industrial (C&I) presence in the Fort Worth market to accommodate its business growth efforts. For nearly a decade, Cadence Bank has established strong roots in the North Texas market. The new office is located near the Fort Worth Stockyards at 111 N.W. 24th St.
“The decision to expand our presence in Fort Worth was a logical step in our company’s growth strategy,” says Hank Holmes, chief banking officer. “We have the opportunity to increase our ability to serve current and future customers and further drive growth in the nation’s 13th largest city and throughout North Texas.”
“The area is also rich in diverse talent, which has allowed us to build strong community and commercial banking teams that share our vision to help people, companies and communities prosper,” adds Brian Walhood, president/community banking.
The new office houses a community banking team led by Wayne Parkman, market president. The community banking team has extensive lending experience in Tarrant County and is comprised of five relationship managers and two lending assistants. Their focus is on delivering a variety of banking and financial solutions to small and midsize businesses.
The C&I banking team—comprised of two relationship managers—is led by Courtney Lewis, executive vice president of Fort Worth commercial banking and a Texas native.
Established in 1876, Cadence Bank is a regional banking franchise with approximately $50 billion in assets and nearly 400 branch locations across the South and Texas.
