Daniel Domingue, President and CEO of Church Point-based Farmers State Bank announced

today the acquisition of the Louisiana First National Bank location in Rayne.

“We are pleased to be able to serve Louisiana First National’s customers and maintain all of the

staff at that facility,” said Domingue. “It was a perfect fit for us as an Acadia Parish bank and

appropriate to our growth throughout Acadiana.”

Richard “Dickie” Latiolais who previously served as Branch Manager of the Rayne bank under

Louisiana First National’s ownership, has been named Loan Officer/Business Development and

will provide commercial lending services to businesses throughout Acadiana, traveling to their

locations for on site customer service.

Anna Colligan, a Rayne native previously employed at that location, has been named Branch

Manager. Colligan was transfered from Farmers State Bank’s Youngsville Branch that she helped

open and had led for two years.

Farmers State Bank currently offers its customers locations in Church Point, Rayne, Judice,

Cankton and Youngsville.

“We’ve become even more convenient for our customers who travel the perimeter areas around

Lafayette,” Domingue added.
