In 2010 and 2011, Renasant acquired Crescent Bank and Trust of Jasper and American Bank and Trust of Roswell through FDIC banking transactions. This gave Renasant 13 locations in the North Georgia and suburban Atlanta markets. In 2016, Renasant acquired KeyWorth Bank and in 2018 Renasant acquired Brand Bank.
