About Us

Directors

Bank of Napa was opened on August 14, 2006, by local business leaders with long term ties to the Napa Valley. Their desire was to create a bank that was built "for and by" the people of Napa, with a goal of providing a level of service that is superior to that found at other financial institutions.

We are a bank of Napa, not just a bank that happens to be in Napa. This means we were founded by local investors, managed by a local board, and operated by local banking executives with decades of experience. It also means that we are built with local deposits, and we make loans to local families and businesses.

At the big banks, you get an account number, a monthly statement, and a toll free number for customer service. At Bank of Napa, find out what it’s like to work with a friend and neighbor who has the experience and authority to help you.
