Banking on Ascension's Growth

Banking on Ascension’s Growth:

Local Relationships Supporting Local Business

Ascension Parish continues to grow, bringing new investment, development and opportunity throughout the community. Behind that growth are businesses of every size—from longstanding local companies to those expanding their operations or pursuing their next opportunity.

At United Community Bank, we believe strong local businesses are an important part of a strong community. That’s why our approach to commercial banking begins with relationships.

Senior Vice Presidents and Commercial Lending Officers David Henry and Matt Stevens work closely with businesses throughout the Ascension area, taking the time to understand each customer, their goals and the opportunities ahead.

Local Knowledge Matters

Every business has a different story. The financing that makes sense for one company may look completely different for another.

Having experienced commercial lenders who understand the local market allows those conversations to begin with the business—not simply a particular banking product.

David and Matt bring that relationship-focused approach to the businesses they serve. By getting to know their customers and understanding where they want to go, they can help identify financing solutions designed around individual business needs.

Just as importantly, UCB's local decision-making means customers have access to bankers who know the communities where they live, work and do business.

Growing Alongside Ascension

UCB's commitment to Ascension Parish extends beyond commercial lending. Our continued investment in the area reflects our belief in the community and its future.

As new opportunities emerge throughout Ascension, local businesses will continue to play an important role in shaping what comes next. UCB is proud to grow alongside the businesses helping shape the future of Ascension.
