We’re Better Together
A woman in a blue top smiles and gestures while sitting at a table with two other people in a modern office setting. A suspension bridge spans across a body of water with hills in the background. The sky is clear and blue. A woman with curly hair smiles while sitting at a desk, holding a document. A man in a suit sits across from her in an office setting. Four people in a meeting room are seated around a table. One woman stands, smiling and talking, while the others listen. Large windows in the background provide natural light.

In the Words of Our Clients
Best thing my business ever did was change from BofA after 35 years to CBC 10 years ago. The great thing about CBC is that you feel like you are a part of a community based bank, with your own personal banker. In today's world of automation, the personal touch is often ignored, and when a bank is helping you move your life forward, that personal touch means a lot.
CBC actually understands, supports and follows through the meaning of "relationship" unlike many other banks that fail in times of need.
I moved out of California across the country to Wisconsin in December of 2019, but I'm still keeping Commercial Bank of California as my bank. That's how much I trust this bank and its staff.
Everyone at Commercial Bank of California from the loan officer to the tellers provide excellent customer service and go above and beyond normal banks. I am so grateful to each and every one of the members for taking such great care of all my banking needs!
