American Bank Names Welch and Bruner Branch Managers in San Antonio

July 13, 2023

Julie Welch and Meagan Bruner were recently named branch managers for two of Corpus Christi-based American Bank’s San Antonio area locations. Welch takes over as branch manager for the bank’s Universal City branch, located at 600 Pat Booker Rd. in Universal City. Bruner is the new branch manager for the Concord location at 200 Concord Plaza Dr. in San Antonio. Making the announcement was Byron Bexley, vice chairman for the San Antonio market.

“It has been a busy and exciting time at American Bank,” Bexley notes. “We recently completed the merger of our former TexStar National Bank branches into American Bank, which created some great opportunities for our staff. I’m pleased with how our branch teams have come together and that we were able to promote excellent bankers to new roles. We have such a talented team at American Bank, and Julie and Meagan are both great examples. Their experience as frontline bankers and leaders will serve our staff and clients well.”

“JulieWelch, who was previously the branch manager at American Bank’s Concord location, recently transitioned into an expanded role at the bank’s Universal City branch. She has more than 40 years of community banking experience. She joined American Bank in 2019 as a branch manager. Prior to that, Welch worked for numerous banks throughout South and Central Texas in branch operations and branch management roles, most recently serving as lobby manager and vice president at Prosperity Bank in Corpus Christi.

“I’m thrilled to be able to join our Universal City team,” Welch says. “And with our recent acquisition of TexStar, it’s a perfect time for me to share my experience and to work with our branch teams to implement American Bank’s systems and products so we can deliver improved banking solutions to our clients.”

“MeaganBruner succeeds Welch as branch manager at American Bank’s Concord location. Bruner joined TexStar National Bank in 2020, which merged with American Bank in 2022. Throughout her banking career, she has served in a number of roles, including teller, personal banker and lending assistant.

“We have a strong group of banking professionals and leaders at American Bank,” Bruner adds. “I can’t wait to share my own banking experience and perspective with our clients and to help them reach their financial goals.”

Established in 1970, American Bank has 19 locations in the Texas communities of Austin, Houston, San Antonio, New Braunfels, Corpus Christi, Port Aransas, Rockport, Goliad, and Victoria.
