Business History

On June 1, 1888, Merchants and Farmers Bank, in Macon, MS, opened with $20,000 in capital. The first home of the bank was the law office of Judge H. W. Foote, the only building in town with a fireproof vault. During the depression in the 1930s, board members personally pledged high quality municipal bonds to insure the funds of our depositors. This action reassured the depositors, and no run was ever made on the bank. The 1990s was a decade of great growth as the bank moved into the Golden Triangle. In 1994, the bank added three branches in Columbus, and then branched into West Point on a de novo basis in 1997. In 1999, the bank opened two de novo branches in Starkville. On July 12, 1999, Merchants & Farmers Bank became BankFirst. In 2002, BankFirst expanded its service area again by moving into the Greater Jackson area. The bank now has branches in Madison, Flowood and Jackson. In 2014 the bank expanded into Tuscaloosa, Alabama
