Trustmark grew equipment originations 57%

Trustmark’s equipment-finance business said new originations jumped 57% from 2024 to 2025, a sharp gain for a regional bank expanding in commercial lending. (monitordaily.com) The unit sits inside Trustmark National Bank, the main subsidiary of Trustmark Corporation, which operates in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. Trustmark’s investor site says the company will report first-quarter 2026 results on April 28 and hold its earnings call on April 29. (trustmark.com) Trustmark launched the equipment-finance line in August 2022 inside its Specialty Banking division and based the business in Atlanta. Monica Day, president of Institutional Banking, said at the time the new group would help commercial clients nationwide acquire business assets. (trustmark.com) Equipment finance is the business of funding trucks, machines and other revenue-producing assets through loans or leases instead of requiring a customer to pay the full price upfront. Trustmark says it offers fixed- and floating-rate loans, capital leases, sale-leasebacks, syndication and interim financing for project buildouts and deliveries. (trustmark.com) Trustmark built the team around Joe Hines, who joined in June 2022 and now serves as executive vice president and head of equipment finance. The 2022 launch announcement also named Jason Center to run originations, Sara Higby to oversee operations and Patty Culos to lead underwriting. (trustmark.com, trustmark.com) On Trustmark’s current equipment-finance page, the bank says the group has more than 200 years of combined experience and serves industries including transportation, construction, energy, manufacturing, healthcare, technology and waste and recycling. The page also says the team works nationwide. (trustmark.com) The growth figure lands as Trustmark is reporting broader momentum across the company. Its investor relations site lists a January 27, 2026 earnings release for fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, alongside a stock price of $42.59 on April 2, 2026. (trustmark.com, trustmark.com) For lenders watching commercial credit demand, Trustmark’s update shows a three-year-old specialty line can still add volume by focusing on specific assets and industries rather than broad balance-sheet growth. The next public checkpoint comes later this month, when Trustmark reports quarterly results on April 28. (monitordaily.com, trustmark.com)
