Broadway Bank Continues North Texas Momentum, Hires Banking Leader
Scott Cortez Joins as Dallas Market President to Continue Expansion
As part of its strategic expansion into North Texas in 2022, Broadway Bank is pleased to announce Scott Cortez has joined the team as Dallas Market President. In his role as the market leader, Cortez will oversee Commercial Real Estate and Middle Market services in the metroplex and a growing team of financial experts delivering Broadway’s unique brand of banking—locally sourced and personally delivered.
Cortez brings over 30 years of banking experience managing commercial and industrial lending teams for financial institutions in North Texas. He specializes in companies based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with revenues ranging from $10 to $200 million. Cortez also has extensive experience in commercial real estate lending, including industrial properties, office buildings and self-storage properties. He serves as the Finance Committee Chair for the Notre Dame School Board of Directors, a school serving children and young adults with learning differences. He earned his bachelor’s degree in finance from Louisiana State University.
“We’re proud to have Scott Cortez with his level of financial expertise and local relationships leading our Dallas team at this pivotal moment for Broadway Bank’s growth in this market,” said Harvey P. Hartenstine, Broadway President and Chief Banking Executive. “They’ve surpassed our goals in just a few short months and we’re excited to see them reach new heights with Scott’s leadership.”
“Throughout his career, Scott has exemplified a deep commitment in managing customer relationships with clients over decades, which is truly impressive and exactly the kind of banking we do at Broadway Bank,” said David Bohne, Broadway Bank Chief Executive Officer. “As Broadway scales and expands banking efforts, the addition of Scott to our incredibly talented team enables continued growth across North Texas.”
“Broadway Bank’s history as an independent Texas bank serving generations of customers for over eight decades is a testament to their relationship-driven approach to banking,” said Scott Cortez. “Their values align with my career—I’ve worked for independently-owned financial institutions and local, generational companies owned by families for decades. I’m proud to be a Broadway Banker and thrilled with the opportunity to continue its momentum and success in Dallas, and beyond.”
In June of this year, Broadway Bank announced entry into Dallas—its first market expansion north of San Antonio since opening in Austin in 2012. Broadway’s Dallas branch is located in the Park Cities area at 8201 Preston Road, Suite 715, along the Dallas North Tollway. With a focus on commercial real estate lending, the Dallas office began as a Loan Production Office and now has full branch capabilities.
