## Who are National Bank Holdings Corporation's competitors, and what are the alternatives?

National Bank Holdings' 2025 10-K, filed February 24, 2026, says its markets in Colorado, the greater Kansas City region, Texas, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico and Idaho are 'highly competitive and quite fragmented', with large out-of-state national and super-regional banks controlling the majority of deposits. Its own table puts the top three competitors' combined deposit share at 50% in Denver, 51% in Kansas City, 60% in Dallas and 69% in Salt Lake City (June 30, 2025). In Colorado, where it operates as Community Banks of Colorado, NBH Bank held $3.62 billion of deposits in 36 offices (2.01%, 13th), behind Wells Fargo (18.13%), FirstBank (12.33%), JPMorgan Chase (12.29%) and U.S. Bank (9.99%) (FDIC); FirstBank's customers moved to PNC in June 2026. In Kansas City, as Bank Midwest, it held 1.83% against UMB's 35.7% and Commerce's 10.03%. Vista Bancshares, acquired January 7, 2026, added 11 banking centers in Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin and Lubbock, where Frost and Texas Capital are larger. The 10-K names fintechs and online banks among its competitors; for 2UniFi, its digital small-business platform, the direct rivals are digital lenders and accounts such as Live Oak Express, Bluevine and Square, and for consumers, Chime. NBHC says it competes through bankers who know their clients and an advisory approach to small and mid-sized businesses.

## What does National Bank Holdings say about its competition?

"The banking landscape in our primary markets of Colorado, the greater Kansas City region, Texas, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico and Idaho is highly competitive and quite fragmented, with many small banks having limited market share while the large out-of-state national and super-regional banks control the majority of deposits and profitable banking relationships. We compete actively with national, regional and local financial services providers, including: banks, thrifts, credit unions, mortgage companies, finance companies, trust companies and fintechs." ([National Bank Holdings Corporation (SEC filing)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1475841/000110465926019119/nbhc-20251231x10k.htm))

"Competition among providers of financial products and services continues to increase, with consumers having the opportunity to select from a variety of traditional brick and mortar banks and nontraditional alternatives, such as online banks and fintechs. Competition among providers is based on many factors. The primary factors driving commercial and consumer competition for loans and deposits are interest rates, the fees charged, client service levels and the range of products and services offered. In addition, other competitive factors include the location and hours of our banking centers, the client service orientation of our associates and the availability of digital banking products and services." ([National Bank Holdings Corporation (SEC filing)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1475841/000110465926019119/nbhc-20251231x10k.htm))

"We believe the most important of these competitive factors that determine our success are our consumer bankers' focus on knowing their individual clients in order to best meet their financial needs and our business and commercial bankers' focus on small- to medium-sized businesses with an advisory approach that emphasizes understanding the client's business and offering a complete array of loan, deposit and treasury management products and services through our banking centers and our digital banking platform. We recognize that there are banks and other financial services companies with which we compete that have greater financial resources, access to more capital and higher lending capacity and offer a wider range of deposit and lending instruments."
