Now that students are back in school, we're sharing some reminders to make sure everyone helps keep kids safe across our community.
⚠️Don't use a cell phone when driving in school zones, unless it's completely hands-free, and never text. This is advised for safe driving any time, but it’s even more important when in school zones where children are walking and crossing streets.

We’re proud to support Fayez Khan and his business growth in Southwest Louisiana. When community banks invest locally, communities grow stronger. Mr. Khan is a longtime Lake Charles entrepreneur and community leader whose diverse business interests span retail, construction, hospitality, and more across Southwest Louisiana. His most recent venture involves the acquisition of two hotels in Lake Charles—each with more than 70 rooms—that sustained damage during Hurricane Laura. Through his varied enterprises and civic roles, Fayez Khan continues to invest in the economic vitality and recovery of Southwest Louisiana, and we are committed to his continued success.
