The Bank of Santa Barbara

Information / Credits

Bucking the trend of local banks being absorbed by larger holding companies, a group of Santa Barbara business leaders and philanthropists purchased Bank of Santa Barbara from Capitol Bancorp Limited in 2009. This group of investors recognized Santa Barbara’s need for a bank that understands the local market and had the ability to offer fast decision-making and financial support to local businesses, non-profits and individuals. Today, The Bank of Santa Barbara, locally known as “The Bank” is a 100% locally owned and operated community bank dedicated to providing state-of-the-art banking solutions and customer service reminiscent of the days when bankers knew every client personally.
