Company

Company overview

Trustmark Corp is a bank holding company based in Jackson, Mississippi. Its Trustmark Bank serves businesses and individuals across the southeastern United States and Texas. Deposits from the communities it serves provide its main funding, which it uses to make business, commercial-property and consumer loans and hold income-earning securities. Borrowers pay interest, and the bank also collects interest on its securities; after funding costs, this supplies most of its revenue.

Customers also pay for account and payment services and for managing investments, trusts and retirement assets. Its mortgage business originates home loans, sells loans to other investors and earns income from servicing mortgages. These activities supplement its core lending business.

The business depends heavily on the gap between the interest it earns and the interest it pays. Changes in market rates affect that gap because loans, securities and deposits adjust at different times and by different amounts. The parent company receives substantially all its cash from Trustmark Bank dividends, which require approval from Mississippi’s banking regulator and are subject to legal limits.

  • Seacoast Banking Corp of Florida and Trustmark both lend to businesses and individuals, exposing them to Florida loan demand and property credit conditions; Trustmark’s Florida offices are mainly in the Panhandle.
