“It’s exciting to get up every morning with the prospect of helping people grow their business and assist them in making their dreams come true,” said George Lea, CEO of CapTex Bank.
This local bank is exceptionally skilled at helping entrepreneurs develop their business. In fact, not only does every executive member of CapTex Bank live in Fort Worth but most have also been involved in at least one bank startup.
Their past banking experience and Cowtown roots give the team a unique perspective about opportunities and solutions for business owners, as well as a depth of local knowledge that works in every client’s favor.
“We have a better understanding of the community than someone who lives far away,” said Lea. “Our families are here, and our roots run deep.”

Having a “community” bank (with the HQ in the city) can benefit local business owners because their money stays local — and decisions can be made quickly without having to go through any committees in other parts of the country like larger banks.
“If you’re relying on a loan approval from a bank you don’t know, there’s a much greater chance of a bad result than if you’re dealing with your neighbors and friends who are far more knowledgeable and interested in your success.”
— George Lea, Chairman & CEO of CapTex Bank.
