Broadway Bank hosted its official grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for the Austin Regional Headquarters last evening. The event was attended by numerous customers, partners, and bank employees.
The event marked the six month anniversary of the regional headquarters’ operations located in the Midtown Medical Towers at the corner of W. 38th Street and Lamar Boulevard. The banking center offers a full array of products and services including personal banking, private banking, business banking, commercial real estate, and wealth management.
“A number of years ago, we realized that our continued growth would require entering new markets,” said Jim Goudge, chairman and CEO of Broadway Bank. “Aside from its notable demographic appeal and being voted one of the best places to live and work, Austin’s vibrant business and professional community made it the place to be.”
Broadway Bank has been in Texas for more than 72 years building a reputation of strength and stability in communities throughout Central and South Central Texas. The bank’s future plans include investments in opening four to six additional Austin locations over the next three to five years.
“This has been an exciting time for Broadway Bank and we’re pleased to offer Austin the unique and personalized service that only a community bank like Broadway can offer,” said Harvey P. Hartenstine, president of the Austin region. “Our great team of bankers, all long-time Austinites, has played a huge part in our initial success, and we look forward to continuing to build relationship in the community.”
