Straight from the desk of our experts: Retail sales rose for the third consecutive month in August, powered by strong consumer spending across categories like online shopping, apparel, and dining—highlighting seasonal momentum and economic resilience. Despite persistent inflation and signs of labor market softening, consumers remained active, prompting the Federal Reserve to issue its first interest rate cut of the year as a precautionary move to support continued growth.

About us
Commercial Bank of California (CBC) is a full-service, FDIC-insured, community bank headquartered in Irvine, California, that supports businesses, nonprofits and organizations across California. It is the largest Latino-owned bank in California and a certified Minority Depository Institution (MDI). CBC is owned, built and run by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. Local business leaders such as William Lyon, Paul Folino, and Alex Meruelo have or currently do serve on the Board of Directors. Inspired by the best practices and experience of the Meruelo Group, CBC specializes in delivering customized, highly personalized banking services to small and mid-sized California businesses and entrepreneurs. CBC was founded over two decades ago and today has one of the highest capital ratios in the country, as well as a talented and dedicated team of bankers. In 2013, the bank began executing a new strategic plan designed to power its growth for the next decade. To realize that vision, the bank strengthened its executive management team by appointing Ash Patel as CEO of CBC. In late 2014, Paul Folino became Chairman of the Board, bringing a wealth of knowledge, experience and leadership to the Board of Directors at CBC. Refreshed leadership has brought new dynamism to the bank. CBC’s management team immediately implemented an innovative strategic plan to transform CBC into a $1 billion bank by 2020. The bank has also focused on creating an entrepreneurial culture to better serve and anticipate the needs of business owners, and has assets of $3.5 billion as of Dec. 2024.

Community Night at the Oakland Ballers game was a HIT! We're proud to support our thriving communities across California, and foster connection and growth through opportunities like this one.
We 💚 the Oakland Ballers! Last week we sponsored Community Night at Oakland's new favorite baseball stadium – home of the Oakland Ballers. The Ballers are a brand new independent professional baseball team bringing affordable, high-energy baseball back to the Oakland — and building a community-first culture along the way.

Commercial Bank of California reposted this
Thank you Commercial Bank of California for serving our local community and involving me. It’s always a very fulfilling time serving the kids. This time, it was a financial literacy course at the Discovery Cube OC. The kids were extremely inquisitive, asking amazing questions, providing answers to ours, and overall excited to be learning; I’m sure the prizes had helped a bit. Always nice to give back!
