Private Banking
Let us help you with your customized credit and deposit needs.

Amegy Bank has assembled one of the most comprehensive Private Banking teams in Houston. Averaging nearly 20 years of local Texas banking experience, we specialize in anticipating and meeting the needs of corporate executives, professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, wealthy individuals and families. Our private bankers take the time to get to know you, understand your needs and provide common-sense solutions to your most complex financial needs.

Amegy private bankers also serve in a leadership role, assembling experts and resources from within and beyond the bank to assist you. We oversee the entire process, ensuring that your goals remain the primary focus. If customized credit is your immediate need, we will work hard to exceed your expectations. Well-placed leverage can be a huge benefit, allowing you to stay fully invested when there are demands on liquidity. We offer:

Personal Loans

A personal loan can be used for just about anything – a college education, a luxury car, a boat, a recreational vehicle, a vacation or an investment opportunity.

Signature Line of Credit
Our personal line of credit allows you simply to write a check for the things you need – up to your credit limit. You will enjoy a much lower interest rate than with most credit cards, there will be no annual usage fee and you may choose from a number of repayment options. From buying a new car or making stock purchases, to paying college tuition or taking a vacation, your signature line of credit is an easy, budget-smart way to manage expenses.

IOLTA (Interest On Lawyers Trust Accounts)

An IOLTA is an interest-bearing checking account for attorneys and law firms to hold their clients' funds.

As one of only several current TEAJF (Texas Equal Access for Justice Foundation) Prime Partners, Amegy Bank is paying a rate that yields 75 percent of the Federal Funds Target Rate on IOLTA balances of $100,000 and above, and a very competitive rate on all other balances.

As a Prime Partner, Amegy Bank is helping ensure that low-income Texans receive much-needed basic legal services. The higher the interest paid, the more funds that are generated for the public. Attorneys can show their commitment to the public's best interest by choosing a Prima Partner, thus receiving a higher interest rate that results in a higher donation to the economically disadvantaged.

As a Prime Partner, Amegy agrees to pay the higher of the following rates on IOLTA balances; 75% of the Federal Funds Target Rate or a minimum of 1.00% APY.

Amegy IOLTA Benefits
  • No monthly maintenance fees
  • No minimum balance requirements
  • Free unlimited transactions
  • Low minimum opening deposit
  • Interest is calculated daily, credited and compounded monthly
