The Bank of Commerce was organized in March of 1926 and opened on April 1, 1926 with capital of $50,000. The Bank, originally located at the corner of Parkerson Avenue and Second St., received deposits of $215,000 on opening day.
On February 1, 1932, the Bank acquired the Bank of Acadia and increased capital to $100,000. Then in 1936 the Bank acquired the Farmers Bank & Trust Co. of Church Point and the Rayne State Bank of Rayne, and opened branches in these towns. This move brought the Bank's capital up to $350,000.
he Bank continued to grow and invest back into Acadia Parish, with a new branch building in Iota in 1950, a new main office in Crowley in 1957 (in the former Green's Hardware Store), in 1970 a new branch building in Rayne, and in 1980 the establishment of a branch in Mermentau.
Bank of Commerce & Trust Co. is now approximately a $300 million bank, with a branch on North Parkerson in Crowley built in 1994, and expansion and renovation of the main office completed in 2000. The Bank is a locally owned, independent bank and does a substantial amount of business with individuals, as well as with customers in commercial, industrial and professional businesses. As a community bank, Bank of Commerce strives to provide excellent service to the customers with friendly, professional people dedicated to giving each and every customer prompt, courteous and personal attention.
