BancorpSouth announced to customers in an email Thursday it would be changing its name to Cadence Bank.
"BancorpSouth Bank and Cadence Bank joined forces in the fall of 2021, creating a premier regional bank that has equipped us to serve our customers better," company officials said in the email.
The transition has already begun, bank officials said, but the process will take some time.
"We will keep you informed and advise you of changes and actions you need to take along the way," BancorpSouth said.
The companies hope the move will improve customer service and continue to grow in the future.
"The Cadence Bank name best reflects the steady cadence of both organizations' growth throughout the years and better positions us to serve our customers acrossa broader geographic market in the future," bank officials said.
BancorpSouth is one of the largest banks in Mississippi. The company is headquartered in Tupelo. Cadence Bank headquarters are in Houston, Texas.
