VIDLIA — Delta Bank President Cliff Merritt was pleased to learn that the bank earned a top 10 bank brand ranking from industry journal “Bancology.”

The journal recently released a study of the strength of U.S. financial institutions ranking Delta Bank seventh in banks with assets less than $500 million. Delta Bank is the only Louisiana bank to make the list in that category. The rating is based on factors such as reputation, service quality and community image as well as the bank’s financial standings.

“All of us at Delta Bank are extremely pleased and proud to be recognized as one of the top banking brands in the country for banks our size,” Merritt said.

“What is most gratifying is that we make a real effort to focus on the key factors used by Bancology in their ranking.”

“Customers have a choice of where and how they bank and we work hard to earn their business. Whether it is great customer service, convenience, multiple ways to access our products, or community involvement, we treat our customers the way we would like to be treated.”

Delta Bank serves northeast Louisiana and neighboring counties in Mississippi from the main office in Vidalia, to branch offices in Ferriday, Lake Providence and Tallulah.
