Community Bank, formerly Farmers and Merchants Bank, is one of the fastest growing financial institutions in the South. Despite its growth, Community Bank is not the product of big business or a large, metropolitan area. Instead, more than one hundred years ago, the founders chose a small timber community in east central Mississippi to first plant thr roots. Today, Community Bank has grown to more than $3.3 billion in assets, 51 offices, and over 800 staff-owners in four states.
