🌊 🤜 🤛 🗽 Last week, our NYC team met with CEO Jared Wolff to celebrate a moment of pride—our Banc of California billboard lighting up the iconic Times Square. We’re here to empower growth, recognize milestones and help businesses reach new heights from the West Coast to the East Coast.

Even Santa needs help with logistics and distribution this time of year! 🎅📦 That’s why we’re pleased to support the acquisition of a leading logistics and transportation business with a $25MM term loan in senior secured credit facilities and a full banking relationship, including deposits and Treasury Management products. This middle-market deal empowers the company to expand its operations and continue delivering exceptional service to businesses that depend on efficient supply chains—especially during the year's busiest season. We’re committed to supporting transformative growth and celebrating these businesses' vital role in keeping the economy moving forward.

🎄✨ This holiday season, our senior leadership team supported an incredible cause at the PATH Jingle Bags Event! PATH seeks to end homelessness for individuals, families and communities by building affordable housing and providing supportive services throughout California. We filled over 300 bags with essential items and a little holiday magic for individuals recently transitioning into housing. We’re honored to contribute to PATH’s meaningful work and to help brighten the season for those in need.
