Huntington Bancshares Incorporated announced on Feb. 2, it has closed its merger with Cadence Bank, a regional bank headquartered in Houston, Texas and Tupelo, Miss.
Cadence customers will continue to bank as normal at their existing branches, and customer accounts are expected to be converted to Huntington’s systems in mid-2026. Cadence customers will receive detailed information about the pending account conversions in the coming weeks. Huntington customers will not be impacted by the conversion.
This strategic partnership accelerates Huntington’s growth initiatives across Texas and the South and brings immediate scale in Texas and Mississippi, where Huntington is now the eighth-largest bank in Texas and the number one bank in Mississippi by deposit market share.
“We’re thrilled to welcome our new colleagues and customers from Cadence to Huntington,” said Steve Steinour, chairman, president and CEO of Huntington. “This partnership marks a significant milestone for Huntington and will serve as a springboard for growth across a number of high-growth markets across Texas and the South. I’m incredibly grateful to Dan Rollins and the Cadence team for their collaboration and commitment to this next era of our combined organization.” The combined company has approximately $279 billion in assets, $221 billion in deposits and $187 billion in loans based on Dec. 31, 2025 balances. Cadence’s 390 branches across Texas and the South will bolster Huntington’s branch network to nearly 1,400 locations across 21 states – from the Midwest to the South to Texas. Huntington intends to maintain Cadence’s branch network—with no branch closures—and invest to grow it over time.
