Mission Bank

About Us

Mission Bank was born when a group of local business leaders imagined a bank that could better serve the needs of Central Valley businesses. When Mission Bank opened in October 1998, it had $5 million in capital and a single office in downtown Bakersfield. Since its inception, Mission Bancorp has grown to $176 million in capital and $1.7 billion in assets, with eight locations in six counties. This year, American Banker named Mission Bank one of the top 20 performing publicly traded banks under $2 billion in the United States. In 2023, we celebrated our 25th Anniversary, and are proud to be the sole locally-based business bank in our home market of the Central Valley.
