Delta Bank this week announced they have purchased Home Bank’s Vicksburg Branch, located at 2150 South Frontage Road in Vicksburg.

With this acquisition, Delta Bank said it hopes to gain loyal consumer and business customers in the Vicksburg Area.

Delta Bank said in a release that it continues to invest in innovative technology that meets customer needs and helps them “interact with their financial institution how, when and where they want.”

“We are excited to be in the Vicksburg Market. The existing staff from that branch has been retained and we hired a strong team to complement them as we move forward,” said Darryl Ellerbee, Delta Bank President and CEO. “With the addition of Mike Curtis as City President, Forbes Grogan and Pam Pugh, we look forward to serving the Vicksburg community.”

The Vicksburg market falls in Delta Bank’s natural footprint along the Mississippi River, and a statement from the bank said its administration prides itself in combining the digital and physical world — “both do-it-yourself and do-it-together.”

“I am delighted to join Delta Bank and lead it into this new phase of growth. I believe community banks are important in the banking industry and we are excited to play a crucial role in serving Vicksburg businesses and individuals,” said City President Mike Curtis.

Delta Bank was founded in 1973 and serves northeast Louisiana and neighboring counties in Mississippi from the main office in Vidalia and branch bank offices in Natchez, Ferriday, Tallulah, Lake Providence and now Vicksburg.
