Founders Community Bank and Yosemite Bank to Operate Under Premier Valley Bank Brand

March 17, 2021 | | Newsroom

Beginning in June 2021, all Founders Community Bank and Yosemite Bank banking centers will begin operating under the Premier Valley Bank name.

This impacts our customers in San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, Oakhurst, Mariposa, and Groveland. Outside of location signage and bank materials, the disruption for customers should be minimal.

“For the past several years, our banking teams have operated under three brand names across Central California,” explained Lo Nestman, President & CEO of Premier Valley Bank. “We’ve frequently heard from customers about the confusion this has caused. It has also created some operational challenges for our employees. We’ve decided it’s now the right time to unify our brand across all of our California locations.”
