Cadence Bank is a Starkville, Mississippi-based bank which has 7 branches in Alabama, with 5 in Tuscaloosa and 2 in Hoover. Overall, Cadence operates 38 offices, and also has branches in Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee.

Cadence Bank has a long history in Mississippi, and was known as National Bank of Commerce for many decades. During the early 2000s, the name was changed to Cadence to differentiate itself as it moved into markets which either currently or previously had other institutions using the National Bank of Commerce name.

In 2010, Cadence was ordered by the United States Office of the Comptroller to raise its capital ratio. After missing that deadline, Cadence entered into an acquisition agreement with Columbus, Mississippi-based Trustmark September 23, 2010, to avoid an FDIC takeover. That deal did not go through, as Cadence received a higher offer on October 5 from Community Bancorp LLC (CBC) of Houston, Texas. Cadence and CBC completed the acquisition on March 4, 2011, and Cadence operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBC, which also owns Birmingham-based Superior Bank, N. A..
