What We Do
About us
More than 60 years ago, we opened our doors at Cathay Bank to serve the growing Chinese American community in Los Angeles. We helped our clients put down new roots with cars and homes. We supported their businesses, which continue to sustain generations. We worked with them to cultivate communities united by a shared drive to create and build lives in Southern California.
Over time, we’ve expanded along with our clients. Today, we’re a subsidiary of Cathay General Bancorp (NASDAQ: CATY), a publicly traded bank holding company that has grown to $20.9 billion in assets as of December 31, 2021. We operate in nine states across the United States, in California, New York, Washington, Illinois, Texas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, and New Jersey, and have outposts in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and Taipei.
While the people we serve have evolved and changed, the spirit of what makes up our clients remain the same. Everyone believes in the power of initiative and perseverance. Each aims to achieve what’s possible. All strive to live their best lives. And we’re happy to work alongside them – providing the tools and services to get them where they want to go.
