Texas Capital Bank Unveils New Mobile Banking Center With Eye Toward Financial Education and Disaster Recovery Across Texas
April 20 2017 - 04:34PM
Flanked by Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and Red Cross officials,
Texas Capital Bank today unveiled its new Mobile Center, a
custom-made community service vehicle that will be used primarily
for financial education and disaster recovery.

The 30,000-pound Freightliner truck made its
first official public appearance at downtown’s Klyde Warren Park in
a ceremony attended by Mayor Rawlings, CEO of the American Red
Cross North Texas Region Keith Rhodes and Texas Capital Bank
President and CEO Keith Cargill.
Wrapped in an image of Texas bluebonnets at
sunset, the Texas Capital Bank Mobile Center illustrates the bank’s
longstanding belief in corporate social responsibility and its
determination to make an impact on its home soil.
“The Mobile Center is a compelling example of
our commitment to the Texas market,” said Mr. Cargill. “We’re a
relationship bank, and that means building closer ties to
communities, especially where we can provide people the tools to
make good financial decisions or assist in the case of
disaster.”
The Mobile Center will be dispatched around the
state with a curriculum called Financial Instructional Tools, or
FIT, to coincide with National Financial Literacy Month. From its
home base in Dallas it will visit Houston, Austin, San Antonio and
Fort Worth, among other locales.
“Financial literacy is a serious challenge
facing our city,” said Mayor Rawlings. “The Mobile Center can
provide important access to the fundamentals of household finance,
helping to build a solid foundation for growth and prosperity
across Dallas.”
The Mobile Center, with two cash-dispensing ATMs
and satellite television, will also be dispatched to assist in
disasters with the American Red Cross of North Texas, with whom
Texas Capital Bank is already a corporate partner. The interior of
the truck can be used for support and counseling.
“We have a proud history of recovering from
disasters in North Texas and Texas Capital Bank’s Mobile Center
will help us do just that,” said Mr. Rhodes. “Congratulations to
Texas Capital Bank for being ready if and when disaster
strikes.”
A study last year by FINRA, a quasi-governmental
organization that regulates brokers and Wall Street, showed that
nearly two-thirds of Americans couldn't pass a basic financial
literacy test. What’s more, the percentage of those who can
pass the test has fallen consistently since the financial
crisis.
“We can support our communities in many ways,”
said Texas Capital Bank Director of Community Development Effie
Dennison. “But as bankers we have a special obligation to lead the
way on financial literacy, and it’s an issue in which we can and
should be especially impactful.”
The exterior of the 40-foot-long, 14-foot-high
Mobile Center features the two ATMS, including one that will accept
deposits. The interior includes an undulating counter, tables and
flat-screen TVs on the walls linked to a satellite atop the vehicle
as well as digital tablets to deliver the financial literacy
curriculum.
In time, the Mobile Center is expected to offer
many of the same services of a traditional Texas Capital banking
center, such as helping customers with basic transactions like
balance inquiries, cashing and depositing checks and opening
accounts.
