Building Better Community Banks: Connecting, Educating, Advocating

Community bankers are the backbone of local economies. They help small businesses grow, reinvest money into neighborhoods, and operate with integrity and trust. Across California, our network proudly represents more than 120 institutions that carry the title 'community banker' with pride and purpose.

For over 35 years, the California Community Banking Network (CCBN)—formerly known as the California Independent Bankers and a former subsidiary of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA)—has been a trusted partner to community banks across the state.

At its core, CCBN is committed to building a unified, resilient community banking sector—one that is well-prepared to meet the evolving needs of California’s diverse communities.

Our Mission:

CCBN delivers specialized educational programs, facilitates professional engagement, and advocates for legislative priorities fostering a robust and supportive network for California’s community bankers.
