- Bay Community Bancorp (CBOBA) operates as the holding company for Community Bank of the Bay, a full-service commercial bank that provides tailored banking services to small and mid-sized businesses, professional service firms, owner-operators, and non-profit organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area. The bank offers depository services as an FDIC-insured institution and CDARS network participant; commercial lending solutions including SBA loans as a Preferred Lender; specialized community development financial programs as California's first FDIC-insured certified Community Development Financial Institution targeting sustainable projects; and additional services such as cash management, treasury solutions, and personalized financial advisory for local enterprises. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Oakland, California, the company focuses on relational banking within the regional commercial banking sector, serving clients across Northern California with an emphasis on risk management, regulatory compliance, and community reinvestment. In November 2024, CBC Bancorp, the holding company for Commercial Bank of California, completed its $122 million all-cash acquisition of Bay Community Bancorp at $14 per share, merging the entities to form a privately held institution with approximately $3.5 billion in combined assets serving two of California's largest banking markets; Community Bank of the Bay now operates as a division of Commercial Bank of California, enhancing scale and capital resources without creating goodwill while maintaining a purpose-driven approach to community business banking.
