“BankDirect operates a nationwide business and generates desirable, granular commercial loans with superior credit quality.”

The transaction covers entire business unit including the BankDirect’s equity interests and the associated loan balances held by Texas Capital Bank.

The deal, however, excludes transfer of parent funding, deposits or capital.

Texas Capital said in statement: “The divestiture will improve Texas Capital’s liquidity position as the Loan to Deposit ratio is expected to decline and the Liquidity Assets to Assets ratio is expected to rise, before giving effect for future redeployment actions.”

Subject to several customary closing conditions, the transaction is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of this year.
