Banking Services Built Around the People of Beauregard Parish
Serving DeRidder, Merryville, and Nearby Communities with Member-First Financial Solutions
Beauregard Parish is a community where timber, agriculture, and natural resources form the foundation of everyday economic life. Positioned near the industries of Calcasieu Parish, Beauregard benefits from regional commerce while cultivating a diverse economy of its own. A community built on hard work and diverse industry deserves a financial institution that keeps pace with its people.
