Rob Graves recently joined Denton-based AccessBank Texas as vice president/commercial lending. He adds more than a decade of experience in the banking industry to the Dallas/Fort Worth lending team.

Graves began his banking career in 2009 with Wells Fargo Bank in Denton, where he worked as a teller and quickly rose through the ranks. After a few years, he joined Meridian Bank Texas to pursue a more community-oriented bank. While serving at Meridian Bank Texas, Graves expanded his expertise, serving as an assistant retail manager, then progressing into the commercial credit department as an underwriter. He followed that by joining Ciera Bank, at which he spent five years as assistant vice president/commercial lending before being promoted to vice president/commercial lending.

“We look forward to bringing Mr. Graves on in this capacity,” says Duke York, executive vice president/chief lending officer. “We know he will excel as he has in the past and be a key member of our lending team.”

Established in 2007, AccessBank Texas serves the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex with branches in Denton, Dallas, Fort Worth and Krum.
