For more than 60 years, United Community Bank has built its reputation the same way many successful Louisiana businesses have — through relationships, responsiveness, and a long-term commitment to the communities it serves.
Founded in Lafourche Parish in 1964, UCB has grown into a Louisiana-based community bank with 12 locations spanning from the Northshore to Baton Rouge and down to the Louisiana coast. While the bank has expanded over the decades, its mission has remained the same: provide the sophisticated banking solutions businesses need while maintaining the accessibility and local decision-making of a true community bank.
That approach is one reason UCB believes the Northshore is a natural fit.
“St. Tammany has an incredibly strong business community and entrepreneurial spirit,” said Sonny Aldridge, who became CEO in January 2025 after spending more than two decades growing alongside the organization in various leadership roles. “Business owners still want a banker they can call directly — someone who understands their market, responds quickly and can help them navigate opportunities and challenges alike.”
UCB is majority-owned by the Callais family of Lafourche Parish, whose entrepreneurial roots include successful Louisiana-based companies such as Abdon Callais Offshore, Callais Cablevision, SWeeDee, Pelican Waste, and Callais Capital Management. That business-owner mindset shapes the bank’s approach to commercial banking, treasury management, lending, and deposit solutions.
The bank recently established a Loan and Deposit Production Office in Mandeville, led by respected local banking professionals Bobby Young and Jessica LaBorde. Together, the team is focused on building long-term relationships with Northshore businesses by offering the capabilities of a larger institution paired with the service and responsiveness of a local partner.
