About the Corporation:

We built our business around the simple realization that trying to be all things to all people – never works out well in the end. At CommerceWest Bank, we have one vision and cater to one community, a corporate culture which has proved to be a recipe for success.

Bigger is Not Always Better
Conventional “wisdom” indicates that when it comes to banks, bigger is better. At CommerceWest Bank, we could not disagree more. What really matters are core values such as consistency and reliability, and above all a dedication to the highest level of service standards for our clients.

Staying Focused on What Matters Most
By catering exclusively to businesses and their key executives, we are able to stay focused on our most important asset – our clients – and customize services to fit their specific needs.

Convenient, Time Saving Signature Services
Because we realize that your time is valuable, we have designed an array of Signature Services with our client’s time and convenience in mind.

HISTORY:

During the era of big bank mergers and acquisitions, Ivo Tjan envisioned "Bank On The Difference", a commercial bank that embodies a culture of business bankers whose only objective was to deliver unparalleled service to the business community vs. being all things to all people like most banks today. By being all things to some people, the bank can provide customized and personally tailored banking services to businesses throughout California. A business bank that will become a profitable banking franchise in California by combining the personal touch of an earlier era, that is no longer evident in most banks, with the modern technology of the new age.

Based on this vision, CommerceWest Bank opened the doors of its Orange County Regional Office on September 24th, 2001 in Newport Beach, California after completing one of the fastest Initial Public Offerings in banking, raising nearly $11 million in less than 60 days. The bank caters specifically to businesses and their specific banking needs aiming to create a true partnership with its clients, and to provide them the all-encompassing support of extraordinary service.

The hallmark services of CommerceWest Bank, Concierge, 24/7 Emergency Banking Service, 48-Hour Turnaround Service, Appointment Banking, NetBanker, and Remote Deposit Solution, has been an attribute of the bank since conception and is an integral part of CommerceWest Bank’s aspiration to become one of the nation’s most respected financial institutions.

CommerceWest’s difference is apparent to anyone who walks into its regional offices. It looks much more like a corporate office than a typical bank; there are no tellers and no lines. But the difference extends far beyond appearances. Each client has a personal business banker who is empowered to make decisions on a wide range of banking matters. Clients are not shuffled from person to person for different services. Bankers meet with clients by appointment, outside of normal business hours if it is more convenient, and there is always a banker on call on nights and weekends, carrying a pager like a doctor, to respond to urgent issues.
Today, CommerceWest Bank has four Regional Office locations servicing Orange County, the Inland Empire, South Bay, and Los Angeles with future plans to expand to other Southern California regions. Its Corporate Headquarters is located in Irvine, California in a facility that will accommodate the steady and consistent growth of the company.
