Provide a brief overview of your business   
Mission Bank is a California based business bank with locations in Bakersfield, Lancaster, San Luis Obispo, Shafter, Stockton, Ventura, and Visalia.  Our primary focus is to help fuel and grow vibrant communities and that means supporting local business owners with commercial lending, treasury management, business services, and more. 

Tell us something interesting about your business or product(s).
We pride ourselves on the relationships we have with our clients.  When you bank with Mission you come with a designated team that is there to assist you with all your needs.  No waiting on hold with customer service, you are on a first name basis with your points of contact.  We look at our services as somewhat boutique and our customers benefit from truly personalized service.

How does your company get involved in the local community?
So far in 2023 Mission Bank has invested thousands of dollars back into Visalia and the surrounding communities, whether it’s supporting Rotary, various business organizations, CASA of Tulare County, or faith-based groups, it’s important to help support the good works of community leaders if we truly want to live our mission and achieve our vision.

The best part of working for your company is? The Relationships that we get to build with our customers that live and work in the same community as we do.

How has the Chamber and/or the Ambassador Program helped you and/or your business? They were an invaluable asset as we were planning our Grand Opening in May. Once we set our date and were connected with Jena, the Chamber remained in constant contact with our planning committee to offer assistance and give us advice on launching a successful opening. Since then, we hear from them often to make sure we’re aware of local activities and invite us to volunteer with community events.  

 Top thing you wish Visalia knew about your business? The potential for success multiplies when you find the right banking relationship.  It’s not just about transactions, it’s about building a trusted partnership where the banker serves as an advisor and friend, that’s where you find growth and success.  We offer that kind of service at Mission Bank and would love to show more local business what it’s like to have our team on their side, working with them to reach their goals and full potential.
