"From the first time we walked through the doors of Pacific Valley Bank, the feeling of family has been there. Whether we need financing for a commercial development, a remodel or help with investments, the family of Pacific Valley Bank is there with open arms to help us. No longer having to deal with big banks has put our minds at ease. Decisions are made locally, by people who you see on a daily basis. Pacific Valley Bank has put the spirit of the community back into banking."

Fishmarket and Eatery,
"I know Pacific Valley Bank customers, and I talked with them first. On their recommendation, I called the bank. The loan officer took the time to learn about my business, which other banks did not do. When he said they could help me, he put me on a fast track, which I appreciated. The bank provided products that meet the needs of the diverse facets of my business, and I received personal attention and service throughout."

"In this day and age it seems as if customer service is not as important as it once was. However, at PVB when you call the branch they know who you are and you feel like you are their most important customer. From our first meeting with Branch Manager, Isis Bailey, we were sold on her professionalism and her ability to get things done and make things happen. My husband and I were so impressed with the bank we moved all our personal accounts and personal business accounts to PVB. We are all very glad to have a true community bank back in King City."

When Holaday Seed Company needed financing for their business, they turned to the lenders at Pacific Valley Bank.

Brian Holaday, owner of Holaday
Seed Company, with his father
and partner Nate Holaday
"When I started Holaday Seed Company in 2005, I spoke with my grandfather about Pacific Valley Bank. He encouraged me to support local business and the ag industry. A few weeks later I moved to Pacific Valley Bank. When we purchased another seed company, they helped us get the deal done fast. Without that, it may not have happened. Pacific Valley Bank supports the foundation of the farming community. I have encouraged family and employees to come to the bank. You work with one person to get everything done. They’re easy to get a hold of. You walk in the bank, and they know who you are."

“Building a local business takes an army of folks willing to help you get on your feet. This is exactly what I found at Pacific Valley Bank. I have been met with service, great advice and friendship. Banking has never been so easy. Service was my number one criteria when looking at local banks and is exactly what I found at Pacific Valley Bank. Service is what can make or break success in business. I found much more than just friendly people at Pacific Valley Bank. I found great service and the kind of business advice I can depend on.”

Local business owners Claudia and Ron Whitehead were not getting the service they needed at their bank. Recently, they switched to PVB.

and El Pollo Dorado
“We came to Pacific Valley Bank from another local bank. We needed lines of credit for real estate developments here and in Mexico. Our banker wouldn’t even return phone calls. Our service was getting worse, too. Our experience here has been completely different. We are tickled to death! Their rates are good, and the service is great. A real person answers the phone, and they respond fast to our needs. We have recommended Pacific Valley Bank to four more people, and at least two have become customers.“
Ron and Claudia Whitehead
Local insurance agent and real estate investor Ray Borzini needed help with a line of credit. His former bank wasn’t responding, so he came to PVB.

Salinas area businessman and
Pacific Valley Bank customer

“I was in the process of selling some real estate to purchase more land. I needed extra lines of credit . My old bank had been working on this for quite some time and for whatever reason could not get it done. My time was getting short, so I thought I’d drop by and see what Pacific Valley Bank could do. PVB took my appraisals, set up a line of credit so I could make the exchange. And, they did it in about three weeks. “

“I made my first loan at Pacific Valley in late 2004, and after that, I was sold. I was most impressed by the Loan Department. The people are friendly, and they are there to help. New home construction has lots of challenges, but working with Pacific Valley Bank for financing was the smoothest part. I just completed my second loan there, and just as before, the easiest part of the whole project was the financing. The application and qualifying went fast, and when I needed something, once again they were there to help.”

Vic Rossi, Owner
Rossi’s Tire and Auto Service
"We recently switched to Pacific Valley Bank. They’re terrific. Customer friendly. We needed financing on a difficult piece of property that other banks wouldn’t even look at. Pacific Valley Bank stepped right in and took care of it. They are very accommodating. The thing that has been most enjoyable is that the people at Pacific Valley Bank really want to work with you. That’s a community bank’s biggest asset. They know who you are, and know their community. It is very refreshing to work with a bank that wants to work with you."

They respond to our requests in a timely fashion and with a friendly attitude. I feel I have a relationship with my banker.”

Daniel Silverie III, Owner &
founder SBI Builders, Inc.
"I like the community bank concept. I want to be with a small bank. You don’t get shuffled around or treated like a number. When I saw Pacific Valley Bank’s ad, I called them up.
“They are sharp young people. They take care of us. There is a lot of personal involvement. They follow up. They are energetic and enthusiastic about their business. When you have your banker coming over just to say hello, that’s kind of nice.” Daniel Silverie III I like the community bank concept. I want to be with a small bank.

Bill Vaughan,
owner of V.I. Farms.
"Farming in the Salinas Valley has changed tremendously. Banking has, too. It’s gone from small , local community banks to larger regional and even larger international banks. Except at Pacific Valley Bank. They do whatever it takes to make banking work for small farmers like me. My business is just as important to them as anyone else’s. They have an accessibility that reminds me of the way banks used to be. First name basis right to the top. That gives me the feeling that the folks at Pacific Valley Bank have a grasp on tradition, and I’m very comfortable with that.”
