Affinity Bank’s Irvine Branch Completes Remodel

Ventura, CA - Affinity Bank celebrated the completion of its Irvine Branch remodel by hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony followed by the Irvine Chamber of Commerce monthly mixer on February 18th.

“We enlarged the space, remodeled the entire branch and added an ATM to better serve our customers”, said Michael R. McGuire, Affinity Bank president and chief executive officer. “The extra space and new design is important as we begin to introduce several new products in the coming months, including small business banking. We have received extremely positive feedback and appreciate everyone’s patience throughout the process. We invite anyone who has not yet been to the Irvine Branch since the completion of the remodel to stop by and visit us.”

Affinity Bank has experienced tremendous growth in the last several years, reaching $1 billion in assets at the end of 2004. The bank is currently expanding its retail deposit branch network throughout California - with new branches scheduled to open in Camarillo and Encino during the second quarter of 2005.
