Citizens Business Bank

Since its inception in 1974, Citizens Business Bank has been dedicated to fostering banking relationships centered around our customers' success in their businesses, workforce, and communities. Founded by George A. Borba Sr., a visionary dairy farmer and entrepreneur from Southern California, the bank originated from his desire to support local business owners in preserving and enhancing the value of their enterprises. Collaborating with like-minded community leaders, George embarked on creating a novel banking experience.

Initially known as Chino Valley Bank, the institution has evolved over four and a half decades, rebranding as Citizens Business Bank while steadfastly adhering to its original mission. Today, boasting assets nearing $16 billion and a network encompassing three trust offices and over 60 banking locations statewide, we remain committed to empowering entrepreneurs and facilitating business growth.

Our pride stems from the opportunity to contribute to the prosperity of businesses, viewing our customers' achievements as our own. By prioritizing personalized service, we cultivate enduring partnerships, evident in the many clients who have entrusted us with their banking needs for generations. Upholding our core values unwaveringly, we consistently earn recognition as one of the nation's premier banks.
