History
One PacificCoast Bank, FSB (formerly OneCalifornia Bank), grew from the vision of Tom Steyer and Kat Taylor and the team they formed to create a sustainable, meaningful community development bank and a supporting nonprofit organization. In 2007, that vision was realized when OneCalifornia Bank and OneCalifornia Foundation opened in Oakland.
In December 2010, OneCalifornia bank acquired ShoreBank Pacific and changed its name to One PacificCoast Bank. The merger greatly expanded its reach on the West Coast, and enhanced its capacity to serve its mission. ShoreBank Pacific, a pioneer of mission-driven banking, began operations in 1997 in Ilwaco, Washington, as the first commercial bank in the United States with a commitment to sustainable community development.
One PacificCoast Bank, FSB, focuses on economic and environmental sustainability and takes a triple-bottom-line approach to community and environmental banking. We believe that a healthy environment is necessary for economic prosperity. We also believe that we can be a catalyst for positive change in our communities by providing fair, transparent, and sustainable banking products and services.
