Whitney National Bank is a regional community banking institution headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana. Founded in 1883, it is the oldest continuously operating bank in Louisiana and a major player in the Gulf South banking industry. Whitney branches are distinguished by a characteristic clock, sometimes known as a "Whitney clock". The distinctive clock is used by the Bank as their symbol.
Beginning with the 2010 NFL season, Whitney National Bank became the official bank of the New Orleans Saints.
In 2011 Hancock Holding Company acquired Whitney bank, operating it as a subsidy along with Hancock Bank. The combination gave the company a total of $30 billion in assets across five states.
