Arvest to open first Texas location

July 17, 2026 - 04:40

Fayetteville-based Arvest Bank is set to open its first location in Texas later this year. The new office, a loan production facility, will be situated in Frisco, a fast-growing suburb north of Dallas. The move marks a significant geographic expansion for the regional lender, which has traditionally focused on Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas.

The Frisco office will operate as a loan production center, meaning it will focus on originating loans rather than offering full retail banking services. Arvest officials stated the decision was driven by the area's strong economic growth and demand for commercial and real estate lending. Frisco has become a hub for corporate relocations and residential development, making it an attractive market for the bank.

Arvest is one of the largest banks headquartered in Arkansas, with over 200 branches across four states. The expansion into Texas represents a strategic step to tap into the state's booming economy. While the company has not announced plans for additional Texas locations, the Frisco office could serve as a foothold for future growth. The new space is expected to open in a newly constructed building, though specific details about the address and staffing have not yet been released.
