American Banker has released its 2025 list of the “Best Banks to Work For,” which includes 13 banks based in Texas and banks that do significant business in the Lone Star State. The 2025 list of the 90 best banks has a few newcomers, including the one that nabbed the No. 1 spot—Wood & Huston Bank in Marshall, Missouri.

A two-step process determined this year’s Best Banks to Work For. The first consisted of evaluating each participating bank’s workplace policies, practices and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. The second consisted of employee surveys aimed at assessing the experiences and attitudes of individual employees concerning their workplace. This part of the process was worth approximately 75 percent of the total evaluation.

According to the survey, American Banker notes that the banks that made the list “tend to prioritize engaged leaders, a strong corporate culture, job training and advancement and a feeling of belonging within the organization. Generous employee benefits—such as paid time off to volunteer and regular employee appreciation events—were also key, as was making time to have fun as a group.”

Here are the Texas-based banks that made the 2025 “Best” list:
