CELINA, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Gateway Mortgage, a division of Gateway First Bank, announced it has opened another mortgage center in Texas to meet increased demand from local communities for home financing. The new mortgage center in Celina will serve the surrounding areas near the North Texas metroplex.
