Candence Bank Completes Acquisition of Local Banks

Cadence Bank announced July 1 the successful completion of its previously announced acquisition of Industry Bancshares, Inc., the bank holding company for Industry State Bank, The First National Bank of Bellville, Fayetteville Bank, Citizens State Bank, The First National Bank of Shiner and Bank of Brenham. Industry Bancshares was merged into Cadence Bank effective July 1, 2025, after receiving all required regulatory and shareholder approvals.

“We are pleased to have received regulatory approval and completed our acquisition of Industry Bancshares, Inc. so quickly,” states Dan Rollins, chairman and CEO of Cadence Bank. “Industry and its subsidiaries have deep roots in Texas—where we have a solid presence and a keen understanding of local economies— making this a seamless fit. With our strong balance sheet and broad array of products and services, we’re excited about the growth opportunities for their people, customers and communities.”

Customers of Industry Bancshares’s subsidiaries will not experience any immediate changes to their banking experience as a result of the merger and should continue using their existing branches, checks, deposit slips, debit card(s), online and mobile banking and other banking services. Customers will receive information regarding changes that may impact their accounts and services this fall as Cadence works toward operational integration in the fourth quarter of 2025.
