In 1994, Dallas Capital helped raise $14.1 million in initial capital from nearly 500 shareholders in a public stock offering to create Heritage Bank of Commerce (NASDAQ: HTBK). Heritage Bank of Commerce was the first independent bank to receive regulatory approval to operate in downtown San Jose in 12 years. It opened for business on June 8, 1994. Bill Dallas was a founder and board member for the bank.

Heritage Bank of Commerce has become a $1B bank serving the bay area. Its Divisions, Heritage Bank East Bay in Fremont and Danville, Heritage Bank South Valley in Morgan Hill and Gilroy, and Bank of Los Altos in Los Altos and Mountain View, offer a full array of innovative, custom-tailored business and personal banking services and products to the communities they serve.
