"Take care of our clients, do the right thing, and the numbers will take care of themselves." Our mission statement proved true in 2005 as Sunrise Bank of San Diego continues to provide a Brighter Way of Banking. The Bank had another record earnings year, while increasing our loan portfolio by 26 percent.

This success is a direct outcome of our efforts to build relationships with each of our customers and by reaching out to the community.

In 2005, senior officers at the bank served on boards for Home Start and the San Diego Autism Society. Several other nonprofits were also supported including San Diego Scottish Rite, Polinsky Foundation and Lymphoma and Leukemia Foundation. In particular, we are extremely proud of our direct involvement with the relocation to San Diego of a Gulf Coast family uprooted by Hurricane Katrina.

Recognition through the CORE Award process was awarded by peers to bank employees Kimberly McDougal and Suzanne Gregory. The respect and trust we show each other as employees translates to our client relationships.

"The senior management team at Sunrise Bank of San Diego was extremely persistent and creative in helping me structure and close a very complicated business and property transaction. Our relationship has continued forward as they help me grow my business through handling my deposits and merchant services."

We will continue to direct our energy and enthusiasm to adding value to our customers and to building solid relationships in our community.
