Rabobank expands in Central Valley
• Opens branches in Merced, Atwater and Turlock
• Steps in where County Bank failed California community bank Rabobank N.A., a unit of the Rabobank Group of The Netherlands, one of the world’s largest banks, is expanding in the Central Valley.
The company says it has opened branches in Merced, Atwater and Turlock as of Tuesday after getting the okay from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
“We’re excited to begin serving the communities of Merced County,” says Jim Lokey, president of community banking. “We have been planning to come to this area for a long time and we are hopeful that Rabobank’s community banking and agricultural heritage will be warmly received.”
Rabobank is expanding into the footprint, if not the same locations, of the former County Bank of Merced, which was folded by the government earlier this year. Westamerica Bank of San Rafael took over most of County Bank’s offices.
Rabobank has two offices in Merced as well as offices in Atwater and Turlock. It says it expects to add an office in Los Banos.
The downtown Merced and Turlock branches will each have a community room that will allow authorized non-profit groups the opportunity to hold meetings at the branch.
In addition to Community Banking Manager Ed Rocha and Retail Regional Manager Ron Stapp, the branches will be led by bankers familiar to local residents and business owners.
“We have assembled a group of experienced bankers who are leaders and volunteers in their communities,” says Mr. Lokey.
Joe Ramirez is vice president and manager of the bank’s Merced Branch downtown on M Street. A banker for 30 years, he served as vice president and regional manager for County Bank for eight years.
Liz Johnston is vice president and branch manager of the bank’s Merced Branch on Yosemite Avenue. She served as a senior manager for JC Penney Company for 15 years before serving as a banking center manager for Bank of America and a branch manager for County Bank
Linda Morris is vice president and manager of the bank’s Atwater Branch. A banker for 35 years, she served as vice president and bank manager for CalFed Bank for 10 years and County Bank for 10 years.
Laura Reis is vice president and manager of the bank’s Turlock Branch. A banker for 30 years, she served as a customer service manager for Pacific Valley National Bank for five years before joining County Bank.
With the new offices, Rabobank has 87 branches serving the non-metropolitan areas in the state -- in the Central Valley, along the Central Coast, and in the Coachella and Imperial Valleys. The bank employs more than 1,600 California residents throughout its network.
