Fifth Third currently operates 107 financial centers in Texas, including 50 in North Texas. The bank expects its statewide network to exceed 250 locations as it adds new branches over the next several years. The expansion also comes alongside a five-year, $3.1 billion commitment aimed at supporting community development and economic mobility throughout Texas.<\/p>\n
“Everywhere we’ve expanded over the last decade, we’ve built to stay,” Brian Enzler, Fifth Third’s North Texas region president, said in an official statement. “Lucas is growing fast, and the families and small businesses moving here deserve a bank that’s invested in their future.”<\/p>\n

Why Lucas?<\/p>\n
Lucas has nearly doubled its population since 2010, reaching approximately 10,000 residents, according to the bank. The city’s growth has also attracted new development, including a\u00a042-acre project planned for Lucas<\/a>. Fifth Third pointed to nearby residential development and growing demand for financial services as factors behind its decision to open the new location.<\/p>\n The bank uses digital analytics and geographic data to identify potential locations in fast-growing communities.<\/p>\n “We’ve been intentional about the businesses we invite into Lucas,” Mayor Dusty Kuykendall said. “What stood out about Fifth Third wasn’t the size of the company \u2014 it was that they asked what our residents and small businesses actually need.”<\/p>\n The Lucas Crossing location will feature an open layout and meeting spaces designed for personalized banking services, combining in-person assistance with digital banking options.<\/p>\n The project adds to Fifth Third’s growing North Texas presence, which also includes plans for a Texas regional headquarters in Dallas.<\/p>\n
