Southwestern National Bank (simplified Chinese: 美南银行; traditional Chinese: 美南銀行; pinyin: Měi Nán Yínháng) is a United States based community bank with headquarters in Houston, Texas that focuses on Asian American clients.[1][2][3][4] Southwestern National Bank currently has branch locations within the Texas and California regions.

History[edit]

The location of Southwestern National Bank in the south reflects one of the newest trends of Chinese American and Asian American population diffusion into areas other than the traditional regions settled by Asian Americans, such as the western United States and northeastern United States. The establishment of this bank was in accompaniment with the booming economy of the late 1990s of Chinatown, Houston and also the Telecom Corridor (Silicon Prairie) in suburban Dallas, Texas. These two trends attracted a significant number of Chinese / Asian scientists, engineers, immigrants, businessman, and real estate investors into the area.
