Here’s a bold statement: In a financial landscape where uncertainty often reigns, BankFirst Capital Corporation is taking a stand by rewarding its shareholders with a substantial cash dividend. But here's where it gets interesting—the company has announced a cash dividend of $1.05 per share, payable on December 10, 2025, to shareholders of record as of December 1, 2025. This move not only underscores the company’s financial stability but also its commitment to delivering value to its investors, even in a time when many institutions are tightening their belts.
Moak Griffin, President and Chief Executive Officer of BankFirst Capital Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary bank, BankFirst Financial Services, expressed enthusiasm about the announcement. He stated, “We are thrilled to declare our 2025 dividend of $1.05 per share of common stock, a testament to our strong financial performance and dedication to our shareholders.”
And this is the part most people miss—BankFirst Capital Corporation isn’t just another financial institution. Founded in 1888, this Mississippi-based bank holding company has a rich history of local ownership, control, and operation. With approximately $3.34 billion in total assets as of September 30, 2025, it has grown into a regional powerhouse, serving communities across Mississippi and Alabama.
Headquartered in Columbus, Mississippi, BankFirst Financial Services operates an extensive network of branch offices in cities like Jackson, Hattiesburg, and Tupelo, Mississippi, as well as Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Alabama. Additionally, the bank runs four loan production offices in strategic locations, ensuring accessibility for both businesses and consumers.
What sets BankFirst apart? It’s their comprehensive suite of services, designed to meet the diverse needs of their customers. From internet banking and no-fee ATM access to checking accounts, CDs, money market accounts, merchant services, mortgage loans, and remote deposit capture, they’ve got it all. But here’s the controversial part—in an era where digital banking is king, BankFirst continues to emphasize local, personalized service. Is this a winning strategy, or are they clinging to the past? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
