AloStar

Founded in 2011, AloStar Bank of Commerce operated as a specialized commercial bank focused on serving the needs of medium-sized businesses. Its primary offerings included asset-based and cash flow lending, factoring, and equipment financing. The company aimed to provide flexible and creative financing solutions to businesses that were often underserved by larger, traditional banks. In July 2017, State Bank Financial Corporation announced its intention to acquire AloStar, and the merger was officially completed in March 2018. The operations of AloStar were integrated into State Bank, which later became part of the modern-day Cadence Bank.
