Red River Bancshares, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Alexandria, Louisiana that provides a full range of banking products and services through its wholly owned subsidiary, Red River Bank. Founded in 1998 and completing its initial public offering in May 2019, the company trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker RRBI. As of December 31, 2025, Red River Bancshares reported total assets of $3.35 billion, loans held for investment of $2.25 billion, total deposits of $2.96 billion, and stockholders’ equity of $365.2 million.

Its mission is to be the premier statewide banking organization in Louisiana by emphasizing relationship centric service and local decision making.
The company’s revenue stems chiefly from interest income on its loan and lease portfolio, which generated the majority of earnings in 2025. Loan composition as of year end 2025 consisted of 20.5% owner occupied commercial real estate, 20.4% non owner occupied commercial real estate, 28.0% one to four family residential mortgages, 9.8% construction and development loans, 17.5% commercial and industrial loans, 2.6% tax exempt loans, and 1.2% consumer loans, with the remaining portion comprising loans held for sale and other extensions of credit. In addition to interest, Red River Bancshares earns fees from deposit accounts, treasury management services, private banking, brokerage activities, and other banking services such as online banking, debit and credit card processing, and safe deposit rentals. Its brokerage division reported $1.33 billion of assets under management as of December 31, 2025, contributing fee based income. Deposit gathering remains a core activity, with the bank offering checking, savings, money market, and time deposit products to individuals, partnerships, corporations, and public entities.
Red River Bancshares, Inc. ranks as the sixth largest financial institution headquartered in Louisiana by total assets, placing it behind larger regional and national competitors that operate in the state. The company differentiates itself through a relationship centric model, a seasoned team of bankers with deep local ties, and a strategic footprint of branches that provides personalized service often absent from larger banks shifting toward digital only platforms. Its competitive advantages include disciplined underwriting practices, a diversified loan mix that mitigates sector concentration, and a solid capital position reflected in regulatory ratios that exceed the well capitalized thresholds under prompt corrective action. The bank maintains a “Satisfactory” rating in its most recent Community Reinvestment Act examination, underscoring its commitment to serving local communities. While it contends with national banks such as JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp., as well as regional players like Hancock Whitney Corp. and IberiaBank Corporation, Red River Bancshares leverages its Louisiana focused approach to capture market share in underserved metros and to pursue organic growth supplemented by selective acquisitions.
The company serves a broad customer base that includes individual consumers, small and medium sized businesses, professionals, and high net worth individuals across its Louisiana footprint. Its commercial lending activities target privately owned operating companies, owners, and key employees seeking customized credit and treasury solutions. Retail clients benefit from personal banking products such as mortgages, home equity lines, and consumer loans, while the private banking group addresses the specialized deposit and loan needs of affluent customers. Public entities, including municipalities, school districts, and utility districts, also receive tax exempt financing and deposit services. Though the filing does not disclose specific customer names, the described segments illustrate the diversity of Red River Bancshares’ clientele.
