NBT\u00a0Financial Bank officially broke ground on its new Grapevine location, marking an important milestone in the bank\u2019s continued growth across Northeast Tarrant County – and continuing a legacy that began more than five decades ago in Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
Founded by local leaders at 2535 NE 28th Street in Fort Worth, Texas,\u00a0NBT\u00a0Financial Bank has spent 53 years building its reputation as a relationship-driven community bank committed to supporting local businesses, families, and economic development throughout North Texas.<\/p>\n
The new Grapevine branch, located at 803 E. Northwest Highway, represents a natural extension of that Fort Worth heritage. Rather than expanding away from its roots,\u00a0NBT\u00a0is expanding from them – its community-first approach into neighboring markets.<\/p>\n
The groundbreaking ceremony brought together bank leadership, business partners, and community supporters to celebrate not only the future branch, but the shared history and values that continue to guide the bank\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project reflects who we are and where we come from,\u201d said Janice Spooner, Regional President for\u00a0NBT\u00a0Financial Bank. \u201cNBT\u00a0was built in Fort Worth with a commitment to relationships, integrity, and long-term partnership. Our expansion into Grapevine allows us to continue that mission while serving even more communities across Northeast Tarrant County.\u201d<\/p>\n
NBT\u00a0Financial Bank\u2019s growth strategy has always focused on thoughtful, relationship-based expansion rather than rapid footprint growth. Construction on the Grapevine branch began in 2026 and will result in a full-service location offering commercial banking, treasury management, and personal financial services, supported by local leadership and decision-making.<\/p>\n
Community collaboration remains central to\u00a0NBT\u2019s approach. Local partners, city leaders, and business advocates joined the ceremony, symbolizing the cooperative spirit behind the project.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are grateful for the Fort Worth community that built us and for the Grapevine community that is welcoming us,\u201d Spooner added. \u201cThis branch represents both our history and our future.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Grapevine branch is expected to open in late 2026. Until then,\u00a0NBT\u00a0Financial Bank continues to serve Northeast Tarrant County customers through its nearby Hurst location and regional operations.<\/p>\n
In addition to the Grapevine expansion,\u00a0NBT\u00a0Financial Bank will also open its new Camp Bowie location in Fort Worth in 2026, further reinforcing the bank\u2019s long-standing commitment to the city where its story began. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to be bringing\u00a0NBT\u00a0to Camp Bowie in a meaningful way. Our plans for a Camp Bowie branch allows us to continue serving Fort Worth in a location that fits the character and energy of this corridor.\u201d says Jason Ballou, Camp Bowie Market President.<\/p>\n
As\u00a0NBT\u00a0Financial Bank continues to grow, its Fort Worth roots remain the foundation of everything it builds next.<\/p>\n
