Los Angeles residents recognize Union Bank of California, N.A. as an established leader in business lending with middle market expertise, small business services, trust and investment management services, private banking and corporate and commercial lending. With 40 branches in Los Angeles County, we are the third largest bank based in California and among the 30 largest banks in the United States, based on total assets of  $46.1 billion.

Investing in the communities in which we do business is one of our guiding principles. For the past few years, several staff members of our L.A.-area branches have participated in the annual United Negro College Fund Walk. This year we increased our involvement by recruiting “walkers” for the event. Also, we form mutually beneficial partnerships with organizations such as the Greater L.A. African American Chamber of Commerce, Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival and Los Angeles Urban League.

Walk into any of our offices and the odds are, you’ll feel right at home. We embrace the concept of equal opportunity employment and affirmative action, and we’ve worked hard to achieve a truly inclusive ethnic diversity, from your friendly tellers in our Crenshaw branch to our knowledgeable branch manager in Ladera Heights. Why? By searching for talent from among the disabled, all genders, veterans, all ethnic groups and all nationalities, we gain access to a pool of ideas, energy and creativity as wide and varied as the human race itself.

Our efforts in providing model-like opportunities for minorities were recognized with the highest honor, the Opportunity 2000 Award presented by the U.S. Department of Labor in 2000. The award is presented annually to contractors with exemplary equal opportunity practices. Additionally, Fortune magazine has ranked Union Bank as the top employer among banks for six consecutive years.

Whether it’s by participating in events to raise funds, partnering with key organizations or embracing diversity in the workplace, we believe we can make a difference in the communities we serve. Our pledge to support the well-being and prosperity of Los Angeles-area residents will be fulfilled by continuing to offer a vast selection of services, investing in our communities and forming partnerships with organizations that share our vision.
