The Bank of Austin Announces New Financial Center Near Downtown

October 13, 2021

The Bank of Austin is scheduled to open its second financial center near downtown Austin. The Hartland Plaza location at 1717 W. 6th St., Ste. 110, will open during the fourth quarter of 2021. Near well-established neighborhoods, the new location is within five minutes of the city’s Tarrytown and Pemberton neighborhoods. It is also 10 minutes north of the Westlake community, which includes Lake Austin.

“We look forward to providing a convenient and accessible location for our clients near downtown Austin,” says Bruce Irick, executive vice president/private banking manager. “We will have an inviting space for clients to come in and make a deposit, access their safe deposit box or just visit with their private banker.”

“The key to our expansion is our focus on being a local bank in Austin,” says Jon Eckert, president and CEO. “Our experienced management team is from here [and] our decision making is locally based. Austin is growing and so are we, thanks to the strong trust of our clients.”

In October 2020, Capitol of Texas Bancshares, the holding company The Bank of Austin, and Texas Hill Country Bancshares Inc., the bank holding company for Texas Hill Country Bank, were merged with and into Southwest Bancshares Inc., which was immediately followed by the merger of The Bank of Austin and Texas Hill Country Bank with and into The Bank of San Antonio. The name of the surviving bank’s charter was changed to Texas Partners Bank, but each of the legacy banking locations of the combined bank will continue to operate under their current trade names as members of Texas Partners Bank.

“Building and nurturing relationships is the equation for success in all industries, especially in banking,” says J. Bruce Bugg Jr., chairman of Southwest Bancshares Inc. “Business owners want to work with experienced people who live in their community and want to help them grow their business.”

Established in 2017, The Bank of Austin is a business-to-business lender with a primary focus on small- to mid-size companies in Travis and Williamson counties. The bank’s first financial center is in Mopac Center located at 8611 N. Mopac Expwy.
