The story
TransPecos Banks is a century-old Texas state-chartered community bank (SSB) founded in 1924 in Pecos, TX. In 2021 it modernized onto the Nymbus API-first core, enabling it to layer a sponsor banking / BaaS business on top of its traditional West Texas community bank. It now markets itself both as a community bank for the Permian Basin and as a compliant sponsor bank providing regulated rails to fintech and embedded-finance partners.
