On April 1, 2024, Community West Bancshares merged with and into Central Valley Community Bancorp and Community West Bank merged with and into Central Valley Community Bank. The resulting company assumed the names Community West Bancshares (the "Company") and Community West Bank (the "Bank") to reflect the combined Company's expanded Central California territory: from Sacramento in the north, to Bakersfield in the south, and west to the Central Coast.

The Community West Bancshares and Bank you see today represent the latest chapter in our Company’s proud history, which began in 1979 with the initial formation of Clovis Community Bank and the Bank’s opening on January 10, 1980. As we have grown, we have remained true to our founding vision to help businesses and communities succeed by exceeding expectations at every opportunity. On November 15, 2000, our holding company was established and registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. In 2002, the Company and Bank changed its name to Central Valley Community Bancorp and Bank to better reflect our growing territory. While our name has evolved once again, our mission and vision remain steadfast.

The Company currently conducts no operations other than through its ownership of the Bank. The common stock of the Company trades on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the recently adopted symbol CWBC.
