About Third Coast Bancshares, Inc.
About Third Coast Bancshares, Inc.
Third Coast Bancshares held $5.34 billion in total assets, $4.39 billion in total loans, and $4.63 billion in total deposits as of December 31, 2025, operating branches concentrated in the Greater Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Austin-San Antonio metro markets plus outposts in Ballinger and Detroit, Texas. Commercial and industrial loans made up approximately 43.4% of gross loans, the largest single loan category, and the bank's fifteen largest depositor relationships accounted for 37.7% of total deposits. On February 1, 2026, the company completed its merger with Keystone, parent of Keystone Bank, SSB, extending its Texas branch footprint.
Third Coast earns net interest income by lending to small and medium-sized Texas businesses and professionals through a relationship-driven, high-touch model, supplementing core deposits with a national wholesale deposit strategy and $37.9 million drawn on a holding-company line of credit plus $81.0 million in subordinated notes. Brokered deposits totaled $660.4 million, or 14.3% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2025, with $159.0 million of that concentrated in a single brokered deposit relationship. The bank's legal lending limit to a single borrower was $153.7 million as of December 31, 2025, with its largest relationship at $70.0 million, and management sells loan participations to other institutions to manage exposure above internal limits. Third Coast's loan-to-deposit ratio stood at 95.0% at year-end 2025, and its allowance for credit losses totaled $43.9 million, about 1.00% of total loans.
Show full overview
Third Coast's funding base carries more concentration risk than a typical community bank of its size: the 10-K states directly that the withdrawal of deposits by its largest depositors could force the bank to rely on more expensive and less stable funding, and its fifteen largest depositor relationships, excluding brokered deposits, represented 37.7% of total deposits at year-end 2025. Layered on top, 14.3% of deposits were brokered, with roughly a quarter of that brokered balance tied to a single relationship, meaning a combined pool of large, potentially rate-sensitive depositors sits well above what core relationship deposits alone would provide. The bank's recently completed Keystone merger adds integration risk to this funding picture, since the 10-K flags that combining the two institutions could disrupt existing customer relationships before any anticipated cost savings are realized.
