Vista Bank

Our Director of Community Outreach, Lubbock D. Smith III, recently spent a special day teaching a group of bright kindergartners at First Baptist Academy Dallas — including his daughter, Genesis! ♥️ Lubbock walked the class through some valuable financial tips, like needs versus wants, saving money, opening a bank account, and more! We’re proud to have leaders like Lubbock who are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of the next generation! #PeopleFirst #CommunityBanking #FinancialLiteracy

Our Banking Center teams had so much fun creating festive costumes with themes on point this year, bringing the Halloween spirit to life! From spooky to silly, it was clear that everyone had a blast! A big thank you to our frontliners for bringing the fun and making the holiday memorable for our Vista family and our incredible clients. #PeopleFirst #CommunityBanking #HalloweenSpirit

Meet Jim Landtroop, husband to our Chief Marketing & Communications Officer, Cathy Landtroop, and proud owner of Huco Cleaning Products and The Cleaning House. A passionate entrepreneur, Jim opened his State Farm Agency in Plainview, Texas, in 1999, and the Landtroops have been banking with Vista ever since! Jim’s journey began with a simple but impactful piece of advice from his father: "You'll never get rich working for somebody else." While it’s never been about creating monetary wealth, the freedom and satisfaction from owning your own business has provided for his family and afforded him the time to coach his kids’ basketball teams and serve his fellow West Texans as their State Representative in the 82nd legislature.  The Cleaning House has been a Lubbock staple for years, but Jim purchased the janitorial supply company in 2019 with two divisions: a retail side, offering professional-grade cleaning products to the public, and a wholesale side serving industrial plants, schools, and government complexes. Drop into the location off of 34th and Indiana and you will receive more than just professional products - you will gain expert advice on how to use them safely and effectively, giving you the confidence you need to clean like the pros! #Entrepreneurship #PeopleFirst #CommunityBanking

We all love #CyberMonday and the convenience of doing a lot of our holiday shopping online. But it is also a time of year when cyber criminals do some of their worst damage. Shop safely by sticking to secure websites, avoiding public Wi-Fi for transactions, and keeping a close eye on your bank and credit card statements. The holidays have enough stress of their own without being a victim of a #cyberattack. Find peace on earth this season while protecting yourself and those you love. #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth #CyberSafety #ChristmasShopping

Another Vista Bank Metro Market picnic is in the books with our families gathering from Dallas, Ft. Worth, and Justin, Texas markets in Arlington last weekend. With food trucks, games, races, bounce houses, face painting, delicious food, and exciting prizes, our team had an absolute blast spending time with each other and getting to know everyone’s families. We’re so grateful to our incredible Culture Committee for organizing fun events like this that bring us all closer together.  We can’t wait for the next one! #PeopleFirst #CommunityBanking #Culture

Several of our Lubbock team members enjoyed connecting with the West Texas Homebuilders Association at their recent Economic Luncheon. A national economist provided an insightful report on the housing industry and interest rates, sparking great discussions about the future of West Texas. We’re grateful for the opportunity to support our local homebuilders and stay informed on key economic trends that impact our community. #CommunityBanking #WestTexasStrong #CommunityBanking #HomeBuilders

In case you missed it, we had a blast hosting the Highland Park Football Homecoming tailgate last week! Special thanks to our Northwest Highway team for cooking up some amazing barbeque on the new Vista smoker! With that delicious dinner, perfect weather, DJ Draft Pick spinning some fun tunes, festive give-aways, and the 360 camera on site, Highland Park spirit was alive and well at our Preston Motor Bank location! A huge thank you to all the HP families for coming out and making it such a fun time. Go Scots! 💙💛 #Tailgate #CommunityBanking #HPFootball

WDAF-TV FOX4’s Shaun Rabb caught up with Vista President & CEO John David Steinmetz along with Director of Community Development Lubbock D. Smith III for an update on the launch of our newest location in South Dallas.
