JD Bank is expanding its Baton Rouge footprint with a full-service branch on Jefferson Highway set to open in late 2025. As such, JD Bank provides Baton Rouge customers the best of both worlds: the personalized service of a community bank and the technology and proficiency of a larger institution.
“We’re a community bank with a big-minded approach,” says JD Bank’s president and chief banking officer, Jimmy LeBlanc. “We have the expertise to manage large projects as easily as the big banks, but with a personal touch.”
With the capability to service any size customer, JD Bank works with diverse types and sizes of businesses, from retail and corporate to industrial and agricultural. It offers a comprehensive range of products and services, including commercial and industrial lending, treasury management, ACH products, commercial real estate financing, specialized agricultural loans, and accounts receivable financing. Customers also have access to digital solutions, including mobile banking.
While many banking institutions look to merge or expand out of state, JD Bank’s board of directors and executive management are committed to remaining independent. This provides JD Bank with flexibility that allows for faster decision making and customer responsiveness that larger banks cannot offer. The bank’s products and services are supported by a staff of 250 employees dedicated to upholding its long-standing goal of being the best community bank in Louisiana.
In addition to providing personalized, relationship-based banking, JD Bank also is deeply invested in the communities it serves. Its executives and employees are actively engaged in local organizations such as Rotary, Kiwanis and local chambers of commerce. “We’re not only a bank; we consider ourselves a partner with our communities,” LeBlanc says.
Indeed, with its well-established longevity and proven stability, JD Bank is committed to supporting Baton Rouge businesses, residents and communities for years to come. “We’re in Baton Rouge for the long haul,” LeBlanc says. “People want a community bank that offers personal service that you can’t get at a larger bank. We are big enough to serve any need, but personal enough to know our customers by their first name. There’s not a shortage of banks, but there’s a shortage of banks like us.”
