Third Coast Bank, a locally owned and operated Texas-based bank, is pleased to invite The Woodlands community to its new branch’s grand opening event Oct. 24 from 5-7 p.m. The evening will feature light bites, adult beverages, surprise entertainment and opportunities for the Third Coast Bank team to share information about its personalized approach and robust suite of products and services.

“Our goal is to raise awareness that Third Coast Bank is your local hometown bank,” said Ozzie Martinez, The Woodlands Market President of Third Coast Bank. “Headquartered in Humble, just a short distance away, we would be thrilled to meet with you and demonstrate how our bank stands apart from the larger, big-name banks.”

The bank offers a variety of products, including:
  • Business banking and lending services
  • Personal banking and lending services
  • Premier Banking program for small businesses
  • Loans guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration
  • Fully equipped Third Coast Bank mobile app
  • Remote deposit and mobile Zelle transfers
A unique, competitive edge

Third Coast Bank’s competitive edge lies in its status as a mid-sized bank, which empowers it to take a personal approach to customer service while also providing clients with the sophisticated online banking tools that rival the capabilities of larger banks.

“Most, if not all, my clients have my direct cell number, where they contact me directly for any of their banking needs,” Martinez said.

Not only does the emphasis on personal connection improve the client experience—it’s also proven effective in detecting fraudulent activity, which Martinez experienced firsthand. He explained that in addition to the standard fraud detection safeguards employed throughout the industry, Third Coast Bank has safeguards by virtue of its personalized approach.

Products and services

In addition to its focus on customer service, Third Coast Bank offers an array of customizable banking products designed to meet the needs of businesses and individuals.

On the commercial side, the bank’s Premier Banking program provides small-business owners with a customizable suite of tools, allowing them to opt out of costly features they don’t need and select only the tools they require, like wire transfers or Automated Clearing House services. TCB is also approved to offer SBA loan products under the SBA’s Preferred Lender Program.

Business loans and lines of credit include:
  • Equipment loans
  • Commercial real estate loans (owner-occupied and investment properties)
  • Term loans
  • Working capital lines of credit
  • SBA guaranteed loans and exporting working capital lines
  • Letters of credit
“Premier Banking is something new that not a lot of banks have. We are coming out with [this program] for the small-business owners that don’t need all the bells and whistles, who just want a basic account with services, like wire and ACH, services that you don’t find at a lot of other banks,” Martinez said.

For its retail banking products offered directly to consumers, Third Coast Bank provides competitive rates on savings accounts and money market products to support the growth of personal bank accounts. In addition, the bank also provides other banking services, including financial advising, mortgages and other lending solutions.

As Third Coast Bank prepares to celebrate the grand opening of its The Woodlands branch, Martinez looks forward to partnering with clients and contributing to a brighter future for local businesses, entrepreneurs and communities.
