Prosperity Bank Review

Overview

Prosperity Bank was founded in 1949 with headquarters located in El Campo, Texas. It has $23 billion in assets as well as deposits totaling $18 billion, which makes it a very large bank. Prosperity Bank lacks premium access to customer service, with no live chat or all-day service options available. It is a traditional brick-and-mortar bank with in-person service, in addition to its online and mobile apps. SmartAsset experts rated the bank 4.4 out of 5 stars, which means Prosperity Bank is a great choice and should warrant serious consideration. Prosperity Bank provides customers with a varied selection of banking products, including savings accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, CDs, IRAs, mortgage products and credit cards.
