The bank holding company’s inclusion follows a period of aggressive development, headlined by a seven percent loan growth CAGR since 2021. According to Jeff Jackson, President and CEO, this performance stems from a disciplined long-term strategy that prioritizes relationship-driven banking alongside expansion into high-growth markets like South Florida and Tennessee.

Key drivers for the firm’s current scale include the 2025 integration of Premier Financial Corp. and consistent improvements in earnings per share and net interest margins. By maintaining a balance between local community focus and broader commercial initiatives, the institution has solidified its standing as a regional financial force. As of March 31, 2026, the company holds $27.5 billion in total assets, continuing a legacy that spans more than 150 years.
