-

-
What happens to my FDIC insurance if I have accounts at both Trustmark and Hancock Whitney?
Following a bank merger, the FDIC generally provides a grace period during which deposits you hold separately at each bank continue to be insured as if they were at separate institutions. This gives you time to review your accounts and, if necessary, make changes before deposits are combined for FDIC insurance purposes.
After the applicable grace period ends, your deposits at Hancock Whitney and Trustmark will generally be added together for FDIC insurance purposes if they are held in the same ownership category.
If you have significant deposit balances or questions about your specific coverage, we encourage you to contact your banker. We can help you understand how FDIC insurance applies to your accounts and offer additional resources to complement FDIC insurance.
-
Can I go to both Hancock Whitney and Trustmark locations to do my banking?
Not yet. Until the transaction is closed, Hancock Whitney and Trustmark remain separate, independent banks and neither can support the clients of the other.
