“It is largely due to the grit and determination of the thousands of family-owned businesses we serve. This recognition reflects our commitment to the industry,” says Sushil Patel, president of State Bank of Texas. “This is a true testament to our lending philosophy and the core values of our business. The more people learn about our character-based approach to hospitality lending, the more they want to align with us.”

Founded in 1885, the Texas Bankers Association is a member-centric state organization based in Austin whose members represent the voice of the banking industry within the state and national halls of Austin and Washington, D.C. In addition, its members participate in discussions around financial and economic roundtables where community leaders ponder safety and soundness issues confronting the state and national economics.

State Bank of Texas was founded in 1987 by hotelier Chan Patel and continues to be owned and operated by the Patel family, with Chan Patel (father) serving as CEO, Sushil Patel (son) as President, and Rajan Patel (son) as Chief Lending Officer and EVP.
