BUILD Q4 2026 Becoming North Texas’ most trusted community bank takes time. Having served local customers and communities since 1961, NDBT (North Dallas Bank & Trust) has both the track record and the foresight to provide the authentic banking solutions small business, entrepreneurs, and goal-oriented individuals need. The trust it nurtures and the excellence it stands for in commercial banking are both reflected in the awards the bank has received from us at BUILD. Allen Hudson, its chief lending officer, was on hand for more. Most Trusted Community Bank 2026 – North Texas & Commercial Banking Excellence Award 2026 – North Texas Founded 65 years ago to serve the entrepreneurs, business leaders, and families who understood the value of personal insights and relationships in driving its community onwards and upwards, NDBT continues to provide banking for smarter choices in both business and in life. Today, it offers a comprehensive range of modern lending services, deposit products, and wealth management services capable of being tailored to a customer’s every need. Behind every product and service is NDBT’s history of consistent profitability, stable ownership, and a commitment to its communities. This blend has long positioned North Texas’ premier community bank as one of the largest and most respected independent banks in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. A big part of this reputation comes from this pledge to give back, with all of its bankers and professionals gladly serving the communities in which they proudly live and work. Day to day, this support sees NDBT dedicated to helping people make better financial decisions, and it offers personal and commercial banking solutions, wealth management, and innovative online banking tools to this end. Strong relationships are a huge part of the bank’s approach, especially when it comes to the work it does as a commercial real estate lender. Here, client needs are met with an array of bespoke commercial real estate financing solutions. As Allen himself explained: “We are prepared to help make the typical complex real estate purchasing process as simple as possible. Our flexible financing lets clients buy, build, expand, and remodel. Construction and permanent financing is available for both owner-occupied and investor projects covering various property types, including industrial, office, retail, and others. Terms can be tailored to meet their financing needs.” The commercial sphere, however, is just one side of the real estate coin, and this is why NDBT also offers a variety of mortgage financing options for its residential real estate customers. Behind these mortgages are veteran property professionals who will share their expertise and guide customers towards making the best financial choices for their specific needs. Its affordable home solutions here include its HomeStart programme, which serves first-time buyers in low-tomoderate income communities across the region. NDBT’s affinity for real estate was seen most recently in the build of its own multi-tenant office and newest banking centre in Frisco, Texas. This development, aptly named Fields Legacy, spans almost four acres in the heart of the former Fields Family Headquarters Ranch. The ranch previously belonged to Bert Fields, Jr., the son of one of NDBT’s founders, Bert Fields. The property opened its doors earlier this year and features a community greenspace with pavilion housing a renovated oil truck from the ranch, and sculptures. Yet another example of how NDBT benefits communities, its pledge to do so is reflected in the bank’s mission: to provide an excellent service to its customers and communities; return a fair and reasonable profit to its shareholder; provide an environment in which each of its employees can excel in a spirit of mutual respect, accountability, creativity, and teamwork; and to at all times act with dignity, honour, and fairness. As it works every day to achieve this, NDBT differentiates itself by putting the relationships it has with its customers and clients first, all the while offering technology that keeps it competitive in the everchanging worlds of commercial and small-business banking. Although this technology is crucial, equally as important for the bank is a culture reflective of how it serves people, builds strong relationships, and treats everyone as family. Allen told us: “Our employees are treated with kindness, respect and dignity, while allowing each to grow in their roles within the bank. We are often honoured with Best Places to Work awards in our marketplace, and with our NDBT Cares programme, our employees are encouraged to give back to our communities and our non-profit partners through regularly scheduled volunteer opportunities.” Looking ahead, NDBT hopes to continue nurturing the new customer base and community that its banking centre and multitenant office building has brought, with new products and services to reach changing needs in this dynamic market also set for release. These initiatives mark the continuation of the 65-year legacy of excellence that defines this community bank, something reflected in the acclaim it has received here.
