A Year of Growth and Gratitude Powered by Our Team

2024 marks a pivotal chapter in our Company’s 45-year story - positioning us for future success with a strengthened team, expanded Central California presence, enhanced expertise, greater technologies and a brand that reflects our growth. These advancements empower us to better serve our team, clients, communities and shareholders.

Our transformation began with the largest merger in our history on April 1, uniting an experienced team of community bankers and later in the year, integrating two core banking systems. Each milestone has showcased our team's dedication, laying a strong foundation for growth and opportunity. 

The synergies of the merger have created something greater than the sum of its parts, evident in our stable deposit base, net interest margin, strong asset generation and the numerous advantages that continue to emerge. 

Today, the new Community West Bank stands as one of the premier community banks headquartered in Central California - unified under a new brand, driven by a team committed to building long-term relationships and exceeding expectations. 

This success is made possible by our exceptional employees, valued clients, supportive communities and loyal shareholders. With a clear vision and unwavering commitment, we are poised for sustained growth. Thank you for your continued trust and support.
