Dallas-based and Dallas-grown, Texas Brand Bank was founded in 2005 and now has over $340 million in assets with five locations in Dallas and Garland, focusing on area small businesses and residents. With the pending merger, it will take on the name of Kemp, Texas-based Harmony Bank—which was formed in 1901, when horse-drawn wagons filled Dallas streets.
“The combination of our two financial institutions will allow us to double our lending limit and acquire additional digital banking options,” providing "greater service to current and future customers," says Texas Brand Bank's president and CEO.
