The MINT National Bank is a young bank, having opened its doors in January 2009; it’s also the last bank in the Houston area to have opened since 2009. Having only one branch might seem limiting, but according to a Houston Business Journal October 2017 article, it allows,

the bank to invest in itself and its customers rather than spend money on stand-alone branches in a time when banks are rethinking their traditional brick-and-mortar strategy.

Although The MINT is currently the 229th largest bank in Texas with assets of just $219+ million, it is the 143rd largest U.S. Small Business Association loan originator (based on July 2019 data). So far this year, the MINT has originated more than $34.4 million in loans.
