  "account": "Third Coast Bancshares reported adjusted net income of $21.6 million for the third quarter of 2026. The bank is focusing on low-cost core deposits and expanding into new regional markets to build long-term earning power.\n\nNoninterest-bearing demand deposits, which are customer checking accounts that pay no interest, increased by 60.3% over the past year. This growth improves net interest margins and reduces reliance on more expensive wholesale deposits.\n\nThird Coast Bancshares is in the process of merging with Great Plains Bancshares. This transaction will expand the bank's scale and presence in Dallas and Oklahoma, creating a franchise of approximately $9 billion in assets.",
  "summary": "The pending merger creates a $9 billion regional franchise while deposit momentum cuts funding costs, a dual engine for profitability.",
