Hancock Whitney Bank to acquire One Florida Bank. By Dave Kovaleski | May 19, 2026 | Industry The parent company of Hancock Whitney Bank is acquiring One Florida Bank in an all-cash transaction. One Florida Bank, a subsidiary of OFB Bancshares, operates five financial centers in the greater Orlando area and one in the Florida Panhandle. As of March 31, the bank reported total assets of $2.1 billion, total loans of $1.7 billion, and total deposits of $1.9 billion. The acquisition will enhance Gulfport, Miss.-based Hancock Whitney Bank's footprint by establishing a meaningful market presence in the Orlando area. "This transaction represents a significant step in our long-term growth strategy, expanding our footprint into one of the most dynamic and high-growth markets in the country," John Hairston, president and CEO of Hancock Whitney, said. "Orlando offers attractive demographics, strong economic fundamentals, and meaningful opportunities to deepen client relationships. By combining our scale, capital strength, and product capabilities with the local expertise of this talented team, we believe we are well-positioned to deliver enhanced value to our clients, associates, and shareholders alike." The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026. "We are proud of the franchise we've built in the Orlando market, grounded in strong client relationships and community engagement. Partnering with Hancock Whitney allows us to accelerate that momentum while gaining access to broader resources, expanded capabilities, and a larger platform for growth," Rick Pullum, resident and CEO of One Florida Bank, said. The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions including receipt of regulatory and OFB Bancshares shareholder approval.
Lyte Fiber, a Texas-based fibre broadband provider, has closed a $175 million construction loan facility to accelerate expansion of its fibre-to-the-home network. The financing includes an accordion feature and was led by CIBC Bank USA and Third Coast Bank, with participation from Hancock Whitney Bank, Celtic Bank, Woodforest National Bank and Axiom Bank. The facility comprises a term loan and revolving credit line to fund buildouts across nearly 20 concurrent markets in Texas, including privately funded projects and government-supported broadband initiatives. The capital will also support strategic acquisitions. Founded in 2023 with backing from SDC Capital Partners, Lyte Fiber provides fibre optic internet services to communities across Texas and pledges 1% of revenue to local charities annually.
$10K donation from Jacksonville bank helps Operation New Uniform expand training for veterans. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Hancock Whitney Bank is investing $10,000 in Operation New Uniform, a Jacksonville nonprofit that helps service members and their families transition to civilian life and careers. The donation will support in-person and online training designed to rebuild confidence, sharpen interview skills and help participants translate military experience into civilian job qualifications. One Navy veteran who was able to use the program described how losing rank and uniform when they left the service felt like losing their identity. "The hardest part about leaving the military and transitioning to the civilian community was losing your rank, your ribbons, your identity, taking off the uniform and kind of losing your purpose. After 25 years being associated with the Navy, this was a huge shock," the veteran said. David Trenholm, who serves on Operation New Uniform's board and is an alumnus of the program, said he joined the U.S. Navy after high school and spent two decades as a Naval Flight Officer. He said deployments to Iraq, Syria and Somalia and leading more than 95 sailors, shaped his career. When Trenholm left the Navy, he said, he had never experienced a corporate interview and struggled to present his military skills in civilian terms. He credits Operation New Uniform with helping him make the transition to banking and finance, where he has worked for six years. "Operation New Uniform was the best program I ever went through for a couple reasons, No. 1, it helped me realize my identity wasn't just solely being in the military," Trenholm said. "It let me know that I'm a father, that I'm loved, that I have purpose." Jay Lugg, executive assistant at Operation New Uniform, said the nonprofit provides training to help participants "sell" the skills they acquired while serving. "We provide the resources, the motivation and the tools and techniques that allow them to sell not only themselves but the skills that they acquire while serving in the military," Lugg said. Lugg said the Hancock Whitney contribution will let the group continue to offer training free of charge and reinvest donations back into the program. "It allows us to provide the tools, techniques, and training completely free to them so any donation that we receive goes right back into our program," he said. "We offer the program free of charge, and so through donations as received through Hancock Whitney, it allows us to continue to pay it forward the same way the service members have paid it forward to us to allow that we have our freedoms and liberties here." Operation New Uniform was founded in Jacksonville in 2014 by Michelle McManamon, according to the organization. The nonprofit said it has helped about 800 veterans in the Jacksonville area and is ready to expand services with new funding.
