The PVB Difference
The Salinas area business and agricultural community faced unique challenges, but the existing banking culture had no provisions in place to fulfill their financial needs. Recognizing their plight, a group of local business and community leaders rose to the challenge. These were business leaders in Monterey County who had prospered and were anxious to serve their community in a meaningful way. Why couldn’t they form a new community bank? One that understood the needs of those it would serve? The project sparked interest – those who embraced the dream became determined to transform it to reality.
