Fresno First Bank opened for business in December 2005 dedicated to meeting the banking needs of
businesses, professionals
and successful individuals in Central California. We believe businesses and individuals want the "hands-on, know
your customer"
approach, especially when it comes to their money. We've made it our mission to provide a full range of banking
services
differentiated by an ability to tailor and adjust services quickly to meet needs and opportunities unique to this
area.
In November 2014, we completed a reorganization through which Communities First Financial Corporation (“Communities
First”)
became the new parent holding company of Fresno First Bank. Upon completion of the reorganization, shares of the
Bank’s common
and preferred stock were exchanged on a one for one basis for new shares of Communities First common and preferred
stock,
respectively. Shares of Communities First are quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the ticker symbols
CFST,
for common stock, and CFSTP, for preferred stock.
