About Triumph Financial, Inc.
About Triumph Financial, Inc.
Triumph Financial held $6.381 billion in total assets, $4.991 billion in loans held for investment, and $4.950 billion in deposits at December 31, 2025, generating segment revenue split 57% Banking, 31% Factoring, 11% Payments, and 1% Intelligence. The company's factoring business purchased $11.699 billion in trucking invoices during 2025, up from $10.370 billion in 2024, while its Payments network processed 33.6 million invoices totaling $40.517 billion. Transportation industry concentration runs deep across products: transportation clients made up approximately 95% of the equipment lending portfolio and transportation businesses made up 97% of the factoring portfolio.
Triumph earns net interest income through TBK Bank's traditional lending and deposit-taking across branches in Iowa, Illinois, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, and Texas, supplemented by nationwide equipment lending, mortgage warehouse lending, and asset-based loans; the company decided in 2025 to wind down both its asset-based loan and liquid credit portfolios during 2026. Its Factoring segment buys trucking-company invoices at a discount for immediate working capital, using a machine-learning 'instant purchase' model to underwrite small-carrier invoices in seconds, while Payments connects brokers, shippers, factors, and carriers to process and settle freight invoices, augmented by the LoadPay digital bank account for carriers. Intelligence, launched in the fourth quarter of 2024 through the Isometric Technologies acquisition and expanded via the 2025 Greenscreens AI acquisition, monetizes trucking data collected across the other three segments into pricing and performance-benchmarking products for shippers, brokers, and carriers.
Show full overview
Triumph's concentration risk runs along two axes rather than one: geographically, a large portion of its loans originate in its community banking footprint across Iowa, Illinois, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, and Texas, the last of which also houses the corporate headquarters and the majority of commercial finance operations; by industry, the 10-K discloses lending concentrations in transportation, construction, and energy services, with factoring and payments carrying significant debtor concentration to large freight brokers and shippers at any given time. Because equipment lending to transportation clients is 95% of that portfolio and transportation invoices are 97% of the factoring book, a downturn specific to over-the-road trucking — rather than the broader economy — would flow through nearly all four of Triumph's reportable segments simultaneously.
