Beginning as a group of individually-owned banks throughout the state, California Bank & Trust (CB&T) today ranks among the leading banks in California with over $10 billion in assets and nearly 100 branch offices. We've grown with California by combining the responsiveness of a local bank with the comprehensive services offered by major financial institutions.
Formed in October 1998, California Bank & Trust is the result of merging three institutions acquired separately by Zions Bancorporation: Sumitomo Bank of California, San Diego-based Grossmont Bank and First Pacific National Bank. Fresno-based Regency Bank was acquired in 1999, as were Eldorado Bancshares' banking subsidiaries, Eldorado Bank, Antelope Valley Bank and Commerce Security Bank, in 2001. Subsequent acquisitions saw the addition of Alliance Bank and Vineyard Bank in 2009.
California Bank & Trust (CB&T) is a division of Zions Bancorporation, N.A., which operates in nearly 500 local financial centers across 11 Western states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Zions Bancorporation, N.A. is included in the S&P 500 and NASDAQ Financial 100 indices (NASDAQ: ZION).
