In 1973, a group of eight local businessmen began the process of establishing a new bank. The objective was to provide the very finest in banking services through personalized relationship banking. The initial target market was the many small businesses that were in and around the Chino area. This determined group was led by George Borba. On August 9, 1974 Chino Valley Bank officially opened for business.
We are proud of our history. George Borba remains the Chairman of the Board. The vision of our founders still is to become the best business bank, providing the highest quality of customer service. The bank that began with $1.5 million in capital has grown to become the largest financial institution headquartered in the Inland Empire region of southern California, with over $6.4 billion in assets.
Citizens Business Bank delivers the very best in financial products and services to 41 cities through 43 business financial centers and five commercial banking centers.
