History

California Bank & Trust was created in October 1998 as the result of the merger of three institutions acquired separately by Zions Bancorporation: Sumitomo Bank of California, San Diego-based Grossmont Bank and First Pacific National Bank.

The institution continued to grow with the acquisition of Fresno, California-based Regency Bank in 1999. In 2001, the company expanded its footprint with the addition of Eldorado Bancshares, which included Eldorado's two subsidiaries, Eldorado Bank and Antelope Valley Bank.

More recent acquisitions include Alliance Bank and Vineyard Bank, which were acquired when the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) closed these institutions in 2009. Through this transaction, California Bank & Trust acquired Alliance Bank's $951 millions of deposits and $1.14 billion of assets, and up to $225 millions of the sold bank's credits.

Holdups

California Bank and Trust has been the target of several holdups at its branches.

  • In December 2013, a man walked into the Kearny Mesa location, handed a note to the teller demanding money, and left with the stolen money.
  • In March 2015, a man walked into the Dana Point location, handed a note to the teller saying he had a handgun, and walked out with the stolen money. This holdup has been linked to four others that took place in California.
  • In April 2015, a masked man walked into the Center Valley branch with his hand in his pocket as if he had a gun, but fled before grabbing any money.
