Did you know Charles Schwab offers banking solutions? Many consumers don’t, but they will soon find out when they visit, The DEC
Network Powered by Charles Schwab Bank. Today, the DEC Network unveiled its new signage at Redbird Mall to reflect the partnership powering their purpose. This is more than simply a naming rights partnership. Schwab wants to be seen throughout the southern sector of Dallas, at the DEC Network and beyond. In his remarks to the invite-only crowd, Paul Woolway, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer at Charles Schwab Bank, SSB said that Schwab is “here to stay!” Irv Ashford, Jr., Managing Director and Head of Fair and Responsible Banking at Charles Schwab Bank, echoed this sentiment when he said not to look for the logo but to “look for us (Charles Schwab professionals), we’re the logo!“
The DEC Network CEO Bill Chin hosted the afternoon’s event and introduced small business owners to the financiers who will soon fund the expansion of their businesses. The palpable excitement was reflective of Chinn’s anticipation of the entrepreneurial expansion coming to Dallas’ southern sector. “We are thrilled to welcome Charles Schwab Bank as a partner in our mission,” Chinn said in an earlier press release?

Charles Schwab moved their corporate operations to Westlake (a suburb in North Fort Worth) from California and has established a foothold on the bustling economy DFW boasts. The emerging partnership with The DEC Network runs through 2031 with plans for the future already in play. The DEC Network has helped entrepreneurs scale their businesses to levels beyond their wildest imagination since 2013 and is part of the Redbird revival, spurred by repurposed use of existing buildings and iconic Redbird mall. The corridor now boasts many shops, restaurants, a medical clinic, The DEC Network and several other businesses. The Redbird reprisal continues, bolstered by the spirit of entrepreneurship, community and care. With it, Redbird has quickly become the envy of communities and developers looking to refresh iconic spaces.
The DEC Network has expanded West to Fort Worth. Entrepreneurs seeking the services and support of The DEC Network in Fort Worth can visit, Create Fort Worth to experience the wealth of offerings for creatives and entrepreneurs.
