Commercial Bank of California Named One of American Banker’s 2025 Best Banks to Work For

Commercial Bank of California (CBC), one of the largest privately held and minority depository institutions (MDIs) in the nation, has been named one of American Banker’s 2025 Best Banks to Work. This marks the second consecutive year that CBC has been recognized among the best employers in banking, a reflection of its people-first culture and the visionary leadership that continues to drive its purpose-driven growth.

 Each year, American Banker — a leading source of news and insight for the U.S. financial industry — publishes its Best Banks to Work For list, recognizing institutions that excel in creating exceptional employee experiences, strong workplace cultures, and meaningful career growth opportunities.

This recognition carries special meaning for CBC because it’s based on team feedback and reflects the culture employees have built together. Every person at CBC plays a role in creating something truly different for clients and communities. The idea of building a bank that doesn’t exist isn’t just a slogan; it’s a daily reality shaped by the dedication, creativity, and shared purpose of CBC’s people.

Founded in 2003, Commercial Bank of California has grown from a local business bank into a statewide institution with a mission to build a more inclusive, entrepreneurial financial ecosystem. Following its 2024 merger with Community Bank of the Bay, CBC now serves clients across Northern and Southern California through a unified purpose: to redefine what a community bank can be.

As the largest Latino-owned bank in California and an MDI, CBC’s commitment to diversity, innovation, and community development extends beyond banking; it’s about building a legacy of opportunity. With a focus on purposeful growth, financial empowerment, and long-term relationships, CBC continues to invest in the success of its employees, clients, and communities alike.

CBC’s culture is built on trust, transparency, and shared success. Every milestone from record growth to national recognition reflects the dedication of a team committed to making banking more human, more innovative, and more meaningful.
