Southwest Bancshares rebranding banks

San Antonio-based Southwest Bancshares will rebrand its regional bank subsidiary to Texas Partners Bank by the end of this year. 

The bank’s newest branch in New Braunfels will be the first to be rebranded, followed by four in San Antonio, two in Austin and Kerrville and one each in Fredericksburg and Bandera. 

“Texas Partners Bank is fueled by the steadfast power of partnerships,” said Southwest Bancshares Chair and CEO Bruce Bugg, Jr. “Our deep commitment to serving local communities is anchored by the relationships we earn every day. Texas Partners Bank is true partnership in action, thanks to the confidence our shareholders, employees and clients have in our long-term commitment to growth.” 

In 2007, Bugg assembled a group of San Antonio-based investors to charter The Bank of San Antonio with $25 million in initial capital and assets. Two years later, he used the same method to charter Texas Hill Country Bank, and to charter The Bank of Austin in 2017. The bank has since grown to more than $2 billion in assets.
