Welcome to One PacificCoast Bank’s news section. Here you will find the latest articles and press releases to keep you updated on what's happening around One PacificCoast Bank.
History
One PacificCoast Bank (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 foundation also changed its name to One PacificCoast Foundation). ShoreBank Pacific, a pioneer of mission-driven banking, began operations in 1997 in Ilwaco,Washington as a leader in sustainable community development. The merger greatly expanded One PacificCoast Bank's reach on the West Coast, and enhanced its capacity to serve its mission.
