Two National Banks in Merger in San Antonio

The Frost National bank and Lockwood National Bank announce a merger to boost resources for South Texas development. The consolidation preserves customer service, with records transfer completed after business hours to avoid disruption. The move aligns with Forbes suggested banking consolidations to fund large projects and strengthen regional commerce. The history ties back to early San Antonio banking families and sites, tracing from 1800s private banks to the present merger.

Frost National Bank Founding and San Antonio Ties

A historical profile chronicles Colonel Frost a frontline Texas pioneer who opened a modest Main Plaza shop near San Fernando and built the Frost National Bank. It grew from a glove business into a major Texas bank influencing San Antonio and South Texas civic life as Frost’s sons carried on the banking legacy for more than half a century. The old site’s building now houses two prominent banks aiding the region’s development and promising continued service to San Antonio and South Texas.
