Compass Bank
Compass Bank is a financial services company with its
principal place of business in Birmingham, Alabama. The
Parent Company was organized in 1970 as "Central
Bancshares of the South, Inc." and commenced business in
late 1971 upon the acquisition of Central Bank & Trust
Co. and State National Bank.
The Company subsequently acquired substantially all of
the outstanding stock of additional banks located in
Alabama, 11 of which were merged in late 1981 to create
Central Bank of the South, Alabama's first statewide
bank. In November 1993, the Parent Company changed its
name from "Central Bancshares of the South, Inc." to
"Compass Bancshares, Inc.", and Central Bank of the
South, the Company's lead bank subsidiary, changed its
name to "Compass Bank."
Compass Bank manages over $27 billion in assets through
its 350 branches. Compass offers fixed rate mortgages,
adjustable rate mortgages, fixed rate jumbo loans, and
land loans.
Compass Bancshares, the parent company of Compass Bank,
is among the top 40 U.S. bank holding companies by asset
size and ranks among the top earners of its size based
on return of equity. The companies shares have increased
for the past 16 shares while dividends have increased
for 22 consecutive years. |
