A group of Baton Rouge investors purchased the former north Louisiana-based Commerce Community Bank four years ago and changed its name to Currency Bank with a mission to create meaningful partnerships and strong personal relationships with clients. Its other branches are in Oak Grove and Kaplan, La., and Eudora, Ark.
‘To say Baton Rouge is interconnected is an understatement.’
“Baton Rouge is a very coveted geography. LSU and Southern are here. The petrochemical industry continues robust investment in the region. State government is located here. We often joke that Baton Rouge is the biggest small town in America. The people who decided to invest in Currency Bank very much believe in the concept of community banking. They believe you should have direct access to the people who make important decisions surrounding your money. We believe that the people who are charged to oversee the bank’s operations should be the same people you see on a regular basis at church, the ball field, and the grocery store.”
‘Technology is a component of service. It is NOT a replacement.’
“We believe in a healthy and balanced marriage of technology and service. While we’ve done a good job keeping up with offering our customers the latest proven technology, we consistently stress that. Our trademark brand of personalized attention, paired with technological advances when appropriate, has helped us to quadruple in size over the last four years.”
‘We deeply believe in serving in the communities in which we live, work and play.’
“Whether it is serving as a financial sponsor for an event that gives back to the community; donating funds to local food banks or helping to buy bullet proof vests for our police officers who help keep us safe; or our employees donating their time by serving on nonprofit boards such as the Louisiana Art & Science Museum, Better Business Bureau and Thrive Academy, we are very proud of making community service intentional throughout our organization.”
OUR LEGACY: “For people to be able to say, ‘Currency Bank played a vital role in our business’s success.”
