Mission Valley Bank, founded 23 years ago as a Community Business Bank, has evolved into a notable presence in the banking industry while holding fast to its foundational principles. Starting with a single branch dedicated to serving local businesses, the Bank has added branches in Burbank and Santa Clarita and, nationwide teams for SBA Loans and Accounts Receivable Financing. “Our growth has been remarkable, yet what truly defines us is our steadfast pledge to our clients and communities,” states Tamara Gurney, president and CEO. “We have expanded, but the heart of our mission continues to be the personal touch and community-focused banking that our clients have come to trust and rely on.”
From its inception, Mission Valley Bank was envisioned as a Bank that puts its clients first, a vision that has never changed. Its commitment to providing high-touch, personalized service has set it apart at a time where banks have moved toward automated, impersonal client interactions. Each client at Mission Valley Bank is treated with a level of care and attention that harkens back to the days of traditional banking, where relationships were key, and a handshake held significant value.
Mission Valley Bank’s story is one of growth aligned with community focus. As a designated Community Development Financial Institution, it understands economic development, directing resources and financial education to underserved communities, helping to spur local advancement. This dedication extends to its role in community reinvestment, where it actively participates in programs that support local businesses.
Despite its success, the Bank has maintained its original philosophy of putting the client first. This principle is evident in every transaction and interaction, making the Bank a trusted advisor for countless businesses and individuals. Mission Valley Bank continues to innovate while ensuring that the core values of personalized service, community support, and client-centric solutions remain at the fore-front of its mission.
Mission Valley Bank is dedicated to its dual objective of service and growth ensuring that it is an integral part of the community. This commitment to maintaining its roots proves that true business banking is about people, communities, and lasting relationships.
