Description: BANC Banc of California

Banc of California, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Los Angeles, California, that provides a broad suite of banking and treasury management services primarily to small and middle-market businesses, venture capital and private equity firms, non-profit organizations, entrepreneurs, professionals, and high-net-worth individuals. Founded in 1941, the company operates branches across California as well as in Denver, Colorado, and Durham, North Carolina, complemented by regional offices throughout the United States.

Its offerings span deposit products (checking, savings, money market, time deposits, and CDs), a diversified lending portfolio (commercial and multifamily real estate, construction and land loans, equipment and asset-based finance, warehouse and venture lending, and consumer loans), and cash management and payment services (merchant acquiring, card issuing, ACH origination, wire transfer, foreign exchange, interest rate swaps, and remote deposit capture).

As a U.S. regional bank (GICS Sub Industry: Regional Banks) operating in the mid-cap segment, Banc of California focuses on relationship-driven commercial banking in markets with concentrations of venture capital and small-to-middle-market business activity, distinguishing its business model from larger money-center banks through its specialization in serving the Western U.S. innovation and SMB economies.
