California Bank & Trust (CB&T) is a full-service bank specializing in consumer, commercial and wealth management services headquartered in San Diego, California. With more than 80 branches[4] located throughout California, CB&T is a subsidiary of Zions Bancorporation, one of the nation's top 50 bank holding companies, with assets of approximately $91 billion.[5]

History[edit]

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.[6]

The institution continued to grow with the acquisition of Fresno, California-based Regency Bank in 1999.[7] 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.[8]

More recent acquisitions include Alliance Bank and Vineyard Bank, which were acquired when the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) closed these institutions in 2009.[9][10] Through this transaction, California Bank & Trust acquired Alliance Bank's $951 million of deposits and $1.14 billion of assets, and up to $225 million of the sold bank's credits.[11]

Operations[edit]
