Hancock Whitney Corporation Rings the Nasdaq Stock Market Opening Bell
Hancock Whitney Corporation (Nasdaq: HWC), the parent company of Hancock Whitney Bank, visits the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square to celebrate a remarkable milestone—125 years of strength, stability, and service in the Gulf South. This ceremony honors the organization’s founders; past and current dedicated associates who have carried on the core values at the heart of Hancock Whitney; and shareholders, clients, and communities for their continued confidence and trust.
Hancock Bank and Whitney Bank were both founded in the late 1800s to help thriving Gulf Coast communities manage turn-of-the-20th-century prosperity. The organizations shared historical, geographical, cultural, and leadership connections for well more than a century. In 2011, the two highly regarded banks came together to form one strong company. In 2018, 100 years to the date of the first official business transaction between the two banks, the company renamed its 1899 bank charter “Hancock Whitney Bank” and rebranded as “Hancock Whitney” to pay tribute to the extraordinary legacies of both banks.
In anticipation of Hancock Whitney’s 125th anniversary during Hancock Whitney Founders Month in October, President & CEO, John M. Hairston, rings the Opening Bell.
