re: First NBC Bank selling 9 branches to Whitney

Very true. They may be selling the branches that the other bank did not want to get more value and then sell itself to another bank.

Seems to be a some different small/regional banks around each location, with a few Whitney Banks next door or across the street.

Of all locations, the following number of banks are near them:

Iberia, Gulf Coast, First American - 2 each
Investar, Regions, Midsouth, Florida Parishes - 1 each.

(I didnt include Cap One, Chase, etc.)

I could see a bank like FABT or Investar getting a great deal on establishing their brand better in the FNBC markets. But I know nothing of any bank financials.
