Our Communities

Being an honest-to-goodness community bank means that we live in, work in and serve our communities. We raise our families here. We strive to enrich these areas and the lives of our customers who reside and work here. In fact, because of our practice of hosting after-hours community events, the neighbors of our original location have nicknamed it “Lakewood’s Living Room.”

Women in Business Programs

In January 2007, Veritex Bank created a community outreach program to provide a peer network for professional women in the Lakewood area. Now having added a Park Cities-area program, founded in early 2008, both programs have been well received.

Lakewood-area Women in Business and Park Cities-area Women in Business each hold monthly networking events and additional social opportunities. They are open to any female executive or business owner living and/or working in the general East Dallas or Park Cities area. There is no cost to join, as Veritex Bank underwrites these programs as part of its service to the community. For more information on LWIB or PCWIB, please contact Darlene Ellison at 214-269-2122.
