## Who are Cullen/Frost Bankers's competitors, and what are the alternatives?

Cullen/Frost's 2025 10-K, filed February 5, 2026, says there is significant competition among commercial banks in its markets and names savings and loans, credit unions, consumer finance companies, securities firms, private equity and debt funds, insurers, leasing companies, brokerage firms and fintech or wealthtech firms as further rivals; its risk factors add that many competitors are larger. Frost operates only in Texas, through about 204 financial centers. In the four big metros the national banks lead: at June 30, 2025 JPMorgan Chase held 50.61% of Houston deposits and Bank of America 20.54% of Dallas-Fort Worth's, against Frost's 2.30% and 1.57%. Frost is strongest at home in San Antonio, third with 7.49% behind USAA and Citibank, which each book deposits at a single office there, and fifth in Austin with 7.26%. Among regionals it meets Prosperity (363 locations after Stellar), Texas Capital, Zions' Amegy in Houston and BOK Financial in Dallas, and a wave of entrants: Huntington through Veritex and Cadence, Fifth Third through Comerica, and Regions with 85 Texas branches. Frost's CEO warned in August 2026 of 'a bit of a race to the bottom' on loan structure as these lenders chase Texas business. The non-bank rivals are USAA, a San Antonio neighbor with 9.6 million bank members, Charles Schwab in wealth and brokerage, and Chime in branchless checking.

## What does Frost say about its competition?

"There is significant competition among commercial banks in our market areas. In addition, we also compete with other providers of financial services, such as savings and loan associations, credit unions, consumer finance companies, securities firms, private equity and debt funds, insurance companies, insurance agencies, commercial finance and leasing companies, full service brokerage firms, discount brokerage firms, and financial/wealth technology ("fintech/wealthtech") firms. Some of our competitors have greater resources and, as such, may have higher lending limits and may offer other services that are not provided by us. We generally compete on the basis of customer service and responsiveness to customer needs, available loan and deposit products, the rates of interest charged on loans, the rates of interest paid for funds, and the availability and pricing of trust, brokerage and insurance services." ([Cullen/Frost Bankers (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/39263/000003926326000011/cfr-20251231.htm))

From the risk factors of the same 10-K: "We face substantial competition in all areas of our operations from a variety of different competitors, many of which are larger and may have more financial resources than us. Such competitors primarily include national, regional, and community banks within the various markets where we operate." ([Cullen/Frost Bankers (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/39263/000003926326000011/cfr-20251231.htm))

"Also, technology and other changes have lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for non-banks to offer products and services traditionally provided by banks. In particular, the activity of fintechs/wealthtechs has grown significantly over recent years and is expected to continue to grow. Some fintechs/wealthtechs are not subject to the same regulation as we are, which may allow them to be more competitive. Fintechs/wealthtechs have and may continue to offer bank or bank-like products and a number of such organizations have applied for bank or industrial loan charters while others have partnered with existing banks to allow them to offer deposit products to their customers." (2025 Form 10-K, filed February 5, 2026.) ([Cullen/Frost Bankers (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/39263/000003926326000011/cfr-20251231.htm))

By deposit share in the large metros, yes: Frost holds 2.30% of Houston deposits and 1.57% of Dallas-Fort Worth's against Prosperity's 0.89% in Dallas-Fort Worth (June 2025). Prosperity's Stellar merger, completed July 1, 2026, took it to about $54 billion of combined assets and 363 locations; Frost reported $53 billion of assets at December 31, 2025.

### What are alternatives to Frost for small business?

Bank of America calls itself the number one US small business lender (FDIC data), serving 4 million small businesses, and leads Dallas-Fort Worth deposits; Square sells payments, point-of-sale software and banking to sellers. Frost competes on service: it ranked first in all eight dimensions of J.D. Power's 2026 Texas study.

### Who competes with Frost in wealth management?

Frost's 10-K names full-service and discount brokerage firms and wealthtechs. Charles Schwab, headquartered in Westlake, Texas, gives AI tools to all 33,000 employees; HilltopSecurities is a Dallas broker-dealer. Frost held $51.0 billion of trust assets at December 31, 2025, including $26.7 billion managed.
