Olney Bancshares of Texas

What Olney Bancshares of Texas does

Olney Bancshares of Texas, Inc. is a privately held bank holding company formed in 1987 in Olney, Texas, controlled by Chairman and majority shareholder Ross McKnight. The holding company owns and operates InterBank, a state-chartered community bank that was consolidated into a single charter in 2010 from 10 predecessor banks and now operates 48 branches serving 43 communities across Texas and Oklahoma. As of Q4 2025, Olney Bancshares reported total resources of $5.45 billion, total loans of $4.7 billion, and total deposits of $4.8 billion, placing it among the larger privately held community banking franchises in its two-state footprint. The holding company is led by President and CEO C.K. Lee, who joined InterBank in 2020 and succeeded long-tenured CEO Pascal Hosch upon his retirement on December 31, 2023.

InterBank offers full-service personal and business banking, including checking and savings accounts, personal and commercial loans, home mortgages (Conventional, FHA, VA, Jumbo, Rural Development), and specialized lending in oil and gas, agriculture, and real estate. The bank's distribution model combines a 48-branch physical network with digital channels including a mobile banking app, online banking platform, Card Manager (rule-based debit card controls), Zelle peer-to-peer payments, and Visa-branded debit cards. Business banking is augmented by a Treasury Services suite that includes ACH origination, wire transfers, Remote Deposit Capture, Positive Pay fraud protection, and merchant processing through BancCard and payroll processing through Paychex.

Revenue is generated primarily through net interest income on the $4.7B loan portfolio (commercial, real estate, agricultural, oil and gas, consumer, and mortgage loans) less interest paid on the $4.8B deposit base, with secondary fee income from banking service charges, treasury services, merchant card processing, and mortgage origination. Customer acquisition relies on direct-to-consumer relationship banking through local branches staffed by bankers with market knowledge, supported by content marketing via the Insights blog and community involvement initiatives with regional chambers of commerce and minority business development councils.
