About Gulf Capital Bank

Built by Houstonians for Houstonians

When you’ve worked in Houston for decades, you learn a thing or two about what the area’s businesses need in a banking partner. We start with the Gulf Capital Bank cornerstones of hard work, straight talk and smart thinking to make your vision a reality. From there, we roll up our sleeves and get to work.

Our leaders, Ed Jones, Downey Bridgwater and Jonathan Homeyer, have decades of experience as commercial banking managers at two of the largest banks in Houston. They’re joined by a board of directors including George DeMontrond, John Kotts, Reed Morian, Dan Tutcher, David Williams, and Donnie Young – some of the city’s most celebrated business and civic leaders.
