Parish National is a true community bank. It offers good, old fashioned community bank service through bankers who are a real part of this community. Established in 1968, Parish National has grown to include offices in St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Jefferson, Washington and Orleans Parishes-and now in Destin, Florida. The commitment to remain a locally owned financial institution has prompted the bank to invest in the future. It is the people, facilities and technology that set it apart from the competition.
Helping local businesses and professionals thrive has been the primary focus of PNB's technology investments. Some of the innovations that customers enjoy include online interactive banking and statement delivery through e-mail and CD-Rom. Transaction information can be imported into their computer for efficient account management. These unique products were actually developed by Parish National. As the 3rd bank in the country to move to the emerging image technology over six years ago, they enjoyed a great head start over the competition. They found many innovative ways to adapt this new banking technology to benefit customers while a few other banks are only now beginning to offer basic image statements.
While the technology development has given PNB the opportunity to separate themselves from the pack it is the financial service expertise overall that keeps customers coming back. The combination of providing warm, friendly customer service and the latest in banking innovation make our customers feel at home in our Parish!
