BOK Financial's (BOKF) Subsidiary to Open New Office in Memphis
Read MoreHide Full Article
BOK Financial Corporation (BOKF - Free Report) has announced the expansion of its subsidiary, BOK Financial Securities, by setting up a new office in Memphis, TN. With this, the company is enhancing its ability to offer unparalleled financial services to clients throughout the southeastern regions of the United States.
The new office will have a team of 20 seasoned institutional sales officers, support staff and other skilled professionals.
BOK Financial Securities offers a wide range of investment advisory services, capital market solutions and underwriting to their valued clients. These services are delivered to their existing offices located in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Wisconsin. The company’s debut in Memphis will benefit from the dynamic and fast-growing market.
Scott Grauer, CEO of BOK Financial Securities & executive vice president of wealth management of BOK Financial, commented, "When this dynamic team is in place later this fall, we'll be better positioned to serve a part of the country that is seeing tremendous growth."
Markedly, over the past several years, BOK Financial has transformed from merely being a bank in Oklahoma to a chief financial service provider, by expanding into carefully selected markets in neighboring states. Last month, BOK Financial's division, Bank of Texas, set foot in the San Antonio market, thereby expanding its presence in Texas.
Also, in 2018, it strengthened its foothold in Colorado and Arizona, following the merger with Denver-based CoBiz Financial. We remain encouraged by such expansion moves that boost the company’s growth prospects.
Stacy Kymes, president and CEO of BOK Financial, stated, "Although there has been some turbulence in the financial services industry this year, we believe the strength and stability of our franchise sets us apart." According to him, the continued expansion is reflective of the company's disciplined growth focus.
In the past three months, shares of BOKF have gained 8.1% against the industry's 4.6% decline.
HSBC Holdings plc (HSBC - Free Report) has re-launched its Global Private Banking business in India. The lender was exploring options of re-entering the Indian markets for a year, as the country has been experiencing a surge in the number of super-rich.

Last month, Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (CFG - Free Report) expanded its private banking business with the addition of approximately 50 new senior private bankers and related support staff in Boston, MA, Florida, New York and San Francisco.
