Welcome to Plumas Bank
On December 15th, 1980 a group of small business owners realized their dream of opening a local bank that you knew by name and could offer solutions to your personal and business financial needs. Below is everything you wanted to know about Plumas Bank and more.

Our Mission

At Plumas Bank, our mission is to provide superior quality banking and investment services to meet the financial needs of families and businesses in Northeastern California and Northern Nevada.

There was once a time when you could walk into a bank and feel at home. A time when people knew you by name, not by number. We miss those times. From the first day we opened our doors, we have set out to rekindle the spirit of a neighborhood bank. Our people are dedicated to finding solutions to your financial needs and to helping you reach your financial goals. We pride ourselves on being able to offer all the services and high-tech support of a big bank. But we have never forgotten the importance of fostering that intangible quality of a local bank—sense of community.

Our History

In 1978, a small group of community-minded citizens had a vision—to create a bank that was operated by and for the members of the Plumas County community. By the end of 1980, the dream was realized with the opening of the first Plumas Bank in Quincy.

From there we grew steadily. In 1981 we opened our second office in downtown Portola. By 1985 we constructed a branch in Greenville and acquired the Wells Fargo branch in Quincy. After expanding into Westwood in 1987, and Susanville and Chester in 1988, we saw our assets top the $100 million mark.

We continued to expand and established our seventh branch in Alturas in 1994. Then in 1998, through the acquisition of two Bank of America branches, we opened up an office in Fall River Mills and combined branches in Chester.

The Truckee office opened in early 2001 following the Bank’s 20th Anniversary celebration. The same year, the Bank’s assets soared to over $250 million as its web site, plumasbank.com, and internet banking were introduced. In 2002, Plumas Bancorp, a holding company for Plumas Bank, was formed.

Plumas Bank expanded into Tahoe City and purchased five branches from Placer Sierra Bank in Kings Beach, Loyalton, Truckee, Quincy and Portola in late 2003.

On May 18, 2005, Plumas Bancorp entered the NASDAQ market.

In December 2006, we opened a Commercial Real Estate Loan Office in Reno, Nevada. In June 2007, we expanded into the Redding market and established a branch office. Also in 2007, Plumas Bank opened a Small Business Lending Office in Auburn and achieved nationwide Preferred Lender Program (“PLP”) status with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

Where We Are Today

Today, Plumas Bank remains an independently owned and locally managed bank. We continue to recognize that our most important assets are our customers, employees, and stockholders, and realize that without them, our success would not be possible.

As one of Northeastern California’s largest private employers—with over 190 employees—Plumas Bank contributes over $10 million annually to the area’s economy, through payroll, philanthropy and local purchasing. Plumas Bank serves the banking and investment needs of businesses and families throughout Plumas, Lassen, Modoc, Shasta, Placer, Nevada and Sierra Counties. As always, our motto of “Local people serving local needs” serves as our guiding ideal.
