Poppy Bank Opens Danville Location

DANVILLE, CA — Poppy Bank just opened a branch at 680 Hartz Avenue, the former location of First Republic Bank.

The Santa Rosa-based bank opened in 2005 and now has locations all over the Bay Area, and is projected to have more than 40 locations throughout California by the end of 2025. In August, SFGate readers voted Poppy Bank the Best Regional Bank in the Bay Area for 2024.

“As Poppy Bank continues to grow, we look forward to extending our services further into the East Bay with the opening of our Danville branch,” Poppy Bank President and CEO Khalid Acheckzai said in a statement. “As a community bank, we are invested in the economic prosperity of each area we serve, and we look forward to building relationships and supporting the businesses and individuals that make up this tight-knit community.”

The branch will celebrate its opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by the Danville Area Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, Oct. 15 at 5:30 p.m.

Poppy Branch is rapidly expanding its presence in the Tri-Valley. In March, it opened a branch in downtown Walnut Creek, its second in the city. In January, it plans to open another branch in San Ramon on 116 Sunset Drive near Whole Foods and Target, according to a bank spokesperson. There is also a location at the Stoneridge Shopping Center in Pleasanton.

The Danville branch is open 9-5 on weekdays. Call 925-255-9760 or visit their website for more information.
