1st Century Bank was founded by prominent Southern California CEOs, community leaders and business professionals with a shared vision of a return to the traditional standard of banking service of impeccable personal attention, responsiveness and flexibility.

Welcome... to the future of traditional banking.

In 2004, more than 100 of Southern California’s most talented business and professional leaders came together to form 1st Century Bank, N.A. Their shared vision: to build the best commercial bank, serving the communities on the West side of Los Angeles.

Our founders, 11 of whom are current directors and/or executive officers, are successful business leaders who intricately understand the value that the right financial partner brings to any business.  With 1st Century, they formed a bank that re-establishes the focus on personal, attentive service, local decision making and the success of its clients.

1st Century:  A bank with a strong belief in delivering a new standard of relationship banking, built on the core principles of personal accessibility, distinguished services, flexibility and responsiveness. A community bank dedicated to serving professionals, closely-held and family-owned businesses, entrepreneurs and high net worth individuals by restoring the personal element into the banking experience.

On behalf of our founders, welcome to 1st Century Bank.  We look forward to, and appreciate, being your financial partner of choice.
