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.
