About Panola National Bank

A Message From The Vice-Chairman

Panola National Bank was chartered in 1983 to help meet the financial needs of the bank’s general trade area by being a true “community” bank.  We recognize our strong commitment to being a community bank will make us more nimble, more responsive, more flexible and more creative with our valued customer base.  Every day we diligently work to develop strong community relationships through service to the people of Panola and Harrison Counties.  Over the past years we have been a source of financial strength to meet the needs of all members of our community regardless of race, age, creed, color, national origin, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or marital status.  We will prosper in the future by enhancing those relationships and continuing our firmly established tradition of being a true “community bank”.   

Warren T. Biggs
Vice-Chairman of the Board
