Who We Are
Our History
Community business leaders formed The Commercial Bank in 1914 in DeKalb, Mississippi. The bank quickly became an integral part of DeKalb and Kemper County. For a time spanning 100-plus years there has only been 7 Presidents, reflecting the stability of the bank management.
The first 57 years saw only two presidents: Charles Rosenbaum and T.A. Stennis. Michael Dudley, a native of DeKalb, is the current President and Chief Executive Officer. In 1995, The Commercial Bank introduced its special brand of independent banking to Lauderdale County by opening a branch in Collinsville. Shortly thereafter, branches were opened at Briarwood and in Meridian’s medical district downtown. The Commercial Bank continued its expansion by opening a branch in Philadelphia in 2007.
Commercial Bank has always been committed to serving communities that lacked access to credit and consumer financial services. In 2014 we continued our commitment to serving our economically underserved markets by becoming a certified Community Development Financial Institution. This certification testifies to our dedication to help fulfill banking needs to the low and moderate income areas we serve.
We look forward to serving the citizens of East Mississippi for many years to come. We welcome the opportunity to meet you personally, so come by any of our branches and learn how we can assist you in meeting your financial goals.
