Commercial Bank of California - NorCal

Commercial Bank of California - NorCal Community Bank of the Bay is an independent, community-focused bank serving for over 25 years. Though the name has changed, our commitment remains the same.

This page represents CBC NorCal, the Northern California region of Commercial Bank of California—formed through the merger of two like-minded institutions: Community Bank of the Bay and Commercial Bank of California. We’re still your local bankers, your community partners, and your advocates—now with greater lending power, expanded resources, and the strength of a $3.5B+ statewide bank behind us.

As the largest Latino-owned bank in California and a certified Minority Depository Institution (MDI), Commercial Bank of California is proud to serve clients across industries—nonprofits, small businesses, tech startups, construction firms, and more—through customized financial solutions and a relationship-first approach. Same team. Same community. Now CBC NorCal. Stronger together—and ready for what’s next.
