The story
The company was founded in 1997.
In December 1998, the company became a public company via an initial public offering.
On April 15, 2011, Superior Bank suffered from bank failure and its assets were acquired by an affiliate of Cadence Bank in a transaction facilitated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
The bank failure cost the FDIC more than $530 million. In 2014, the FDIC sued former executives of the Florida division of the bank, claiming they took “unreasonable financial risks” in making unsafe loans.
