When your bank changes, it’s more than just a name—it’s your experience.
Transitions like this have a way of making people pause and ask:
𝗜𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲?
If things feel different, you’re not alone.
And it might be the right time to rethink what you want moving forward.

Three weeks ago, we held our Annual Shareholders Meeting. It was an inspiring afternoon filled with celebration of previous accomplishments, collaboration goals for looking ahead, and a shared vision for our future.

A heartfelt thank you to all our shareholders for your unwavering support and incredible dedication. You are the pillars of our Paragon family, and together, we are paving the way for continued excellence and innovation.

Here's to many more years of growth, success, and shared accomplishments. We couldn't do it without each and every one of you!

We have a whole lot to celebrate this June! We're wishing these Paragon Team Members a very Happy Birthday!

Two weeks ago, we granted our 21st wish with Make-A-Wish Mid-South! We had the honor and privilege of granting the wish of Joelle, who wanted to go to Romania and visit Peonari Citadel, the once-home of history’s famous (or infamous!) Vlad the Impaler. Paragon team members recreated an episode of Hollywood Squares, renamed Paragon Squares, for Joelle to compete in. Nine staff members acted as celebrity contestants, all while dressed up according to Joelle’s favorite things. Two additional staff members acted as the host and other contestant. Categories and questions all revolved around things Joelle liked, including the television show Supernatural, Greek mythology, X-Men comics, the color orange and more. We loved having Joelle and her family here, as well as our Make-A-Wish friends. It’s one of the highlights of our year!
