Altos Bank (in Organization) Will Mark a Significant Milestone in Silicon Valley's Financial Landscape

This week there were two milestones in California banking. First the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) has officially approved the establishment of a new business-oriented community bank in Silicon Valley, marking a significant next step in the region's financial landscape. The new bank, Altos Bank (in organization), will be headquartered in Los Altos in the heart of Silicon Valley, promoting economic growth, inclusivity, sustainability and prosperity in the communities served by empowering small business and investors. Altos Bank will provide a unique blend of high touch and high tech by deploying experienced, service-oriented relationship managers armed with sophisticated, state-of-the-art technology.

Second there was an Open House yesterday with the leadership from the bank continuing to keep the community aware of the timeline and opportunities ahead. The picture above is from the Open House.

There are a number of experienced leaders who are part of the bank's leadership. One of the most notable is Dr. Sanjeev Khagram, well known by members of Global Chamber® as the successful Dean of Thunderbird School of Global Management, transforming the school with a magnificent new building, a unique and special alignment with Arizona State University, and significant growth in students and initiatives. Perhaps lesser known is that Dr. Khagram comes from a banking family, and so his times to the industry run global and deep. The combination of his expertise, brilliance and connections portends well for the success of the bank, that looks to fill important market needs.

"We are thrilled to receive the approval from the DFPI and embark on this exciting journey," said Steven Chang, founder of Altos Bank (in organization). "Our mission is to foster the growth and success of both individuals and businesses in Silicon Valley by providing personalized banking solutions, cutting-edge technology, and exceptional customer service."

"The establishment of Altos Bank (in organization) fills a crucial void in Silicon Valley's financial sector by offering specialized services that cater to the dynamic and diverse needs of Silicon Valley's small business and investor community," said Tom Vertin, the proposed Bank's CEO. "Altos Bank (in-organization) will provide an unparalleled banking experience for its clients,"
