PacWest Bancorp
PacWest Bancorp is an American bank holding company based in Beverly Hills, California, with one wholly owned banking subsidiary, Pacific Western Bank. It is a subsidiary of Banc of California.
It has 69 branches in California, primarily in the southern and central parts of the state, one in Denver, Colorado, one in Durham, North Carolina, and several loan production offices across the country.
The company is on the Forbes Global 2000 list, ranked 1972 in 2023.
The bank was founded in October 1999 as First Community Bancorp. In March 2002, it acquired Capital Bank of North County. In April 2002, it acquired Upland Bank, with $108 million in assets. In 2005, it acquired Glendora, California–based Foothill Independent Bancorp for $238 million.
In 2006, First Community Bancorp combined the two banks it then owned, Pacific Western National Bank and First National Bank, renaming them the Pacific Western Bank. In 2008, First Community Bancorp reincorporated in Delaware and changed its name to PacWest Bancorp.
After the 2008 financial crisis, the bank acquired the assets and deposits of several banks that failed: it acquired Security Pacific Bank of Los Angeles in November 2008, Affinity Bank of Ventura, California in August 2009, and Los Padres Bank of Solvang in August 2010.
In April 2014, PacWest acquired CapitalSource for around $2.29 billion. In October 2015, it acquired Square 1 Financial Inc., the parent company of Durham, North Carolina–based Square 1 Bank with $3.1 billion in assets, for $815 million and became the sixth largest publicly traded bank in California.
In January 2019, PacWest retired the CapitalSource and Square 1 Bank brand names. In February 2021, eight months before acquiring MUFG Union Bank's homeowner association services division, it purchased Civic Financial Services, which mainly provides loans to home flippers.
