Bank Celebrates 1st West Coast Branch With Donation To Beverly Hills Schools

BEVERLY HILLS, CA — Valley Bank, a New Jersey-based regional bank, celebrated the grand opening of its first West Coast branch this week with a $10,000 donation to support Beverly Hills schools.

Valley Bank opened its 225 N. Beverly Drive location in August, but celebrated its grand opening on Tuesday.

"The branch reaffirms Valley’s commitment to its presence in California, strengthening its relationship banking approach within the community. The branch serves as a key extension of Valley’s California market team which delivers a full range of commercial services to business of all sizes," bank leaders wrote in a statement.

Earlier this year, the bank said deposits at its Beverly Hills branch had grown to over $50 million.

Valley Bank presented a $10,000 check to the Beverly Hills Education Foundation at its grand opening celebration. The foundation supports students in the Beverly Hills Unified School District.

"While the specific use of the donation will be guided by ongoing collaboration between BHEF and Valley Bank the shared vision is clear: to invest in impactful programs that directly benefit students and support their pathways to success," school officials wrote in a statement.
