What CVB Financial does

Southern California-based commercial bank (Citizens Business Bank) serving businesses in the Inland Empire and greater LA.

Earns mainly from the gap between loan interest and a low deposit cost, helped by a large base of business checking accounts that pay no interest, with commercial real estate and business loans the main assets. Fees from trust, wealth and treasury services are secondary. It has grown by buying smaller banks in Southern California.
