These are the 16 fastest-growing banks in San Antonio

The banks in San Antonio with the fastest-growing commercial and industrial loan portfolios reported loans valued at $785.9 million as of Sept. 30, marking an 11% increase over what was reported in the year-earlier period. This week's List is part of a broader strategy shift in our research methodology and philosophy in 2025, one that will emphasize more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 40-plus sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. We anticipate this effort will identify thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ's footprint — this year alone. Information on The List was obtained from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. As defined by the FDIC, commercial and industrial lending includes "secured or unsecured credits to business enterprises for commercial and industrial purposes and can include working capital advances, term loans and loans to individuals for business purposes." To qualify for this List, lenders are required to have commercial and industrial loan portfolio balances as of Sept. 30, 2024, and to be incorporated and headquartered in the San Antonio-New Braunfels MSA. Rankings were determined by year-over-year raw dollar value changes in C&I lending in the period analyzed.
