Seacoast Commerce Bank, today announced plans to convert its Glendale, CA full-service banking branch back to a stand-alone loan production office ("LPO").
At the completion of the conversion, expected in the first quarter of 2016, all deposits in the Glendale office will be serviced out the Bank’s Rancho Bernardo office.
Seacoast Commerce Bank President and CEO, Richard M. Sanborn commented: "Opening a Los Angeles county branch was an important part of our strategic process a few years back, and it continues to serve us well.
However; as technology and client service requirements continue to evolve, we have determined that we could service our specific client base without a brick-and-mortar office in Los Angeles. Converting our Glendale branch back to a stand-alone LPO will result in efficiencies for the bank while not losing service standards or the loan production momentum we have built in our Los Angeles market."
