Our bank opened for business in December 2005 and we are excited to be serving the commercial banking needs of small and mid-sized business and professional firms located throughout the Santa Barbara area.

Our greatest strength is the experience of our core team members. With more than 90 years of combined banking know-how, we have a good, diversified understanding of all the various aspects of business banking as well as a solid understanding of the business community and economic climate.

In January, more than 250 investors, clients and prospects attended our grand opening celebration. Our clients and guests alike were clearly impressed with our staff and offices, which are professional, yet warm, inviting and interesting.

Located in the heart of Santa Barbara, our 6,800-square-foot office features large-scale paintings of Santa Barbara landmarks and familiar local vistas by prominent local artist, Ed Lister. Our strategy is to align the bank with our community by showcasing the beauty around us.

Service and convenience are key aspects of the successful execution of our business plan. In addition to Internet banking and business cash management for our clients who want to do their banking from home or the workplace, we have implemented a courier service for our commercial clients.

As a new bank, we're now in the process of building a sound commercial loan portfolio and developing lucrative lines of business. We are committed to delivering the highest level of professional service to our clients as we become the premier business-oriented community bank for our clients in the Santa Barbara area.
