Who We Are

About Bank of the Orient

In 1971, Bank of the Orient opened its headquarters in the heart of San Francisco’s Financial District to serve the banking needs of the Asian-American community. During the past 48 years, we have continued to provide financial support and assistance to help local communities grow and prosper. Since the beginning of our establishment, Bank of the Orient’s tradition has been to provide highly personalized service and demonstrate commitment to our customers.

With current assets totaling over $910 million and local branches in the Bay Area covering San Francisco, Oakland, Millbrae. Furthermore, Bank of the Orient has extended its services to places as far as Hawaii and Xiamen, China. Nevertheless, Bank of the Orient continues to carry out the commitment to meet the needs of all our customers. While looking forward to expand its footprint, the Bank remains deeply rooted in the Bay Area to continue serving its local community.

Relationship Banking – Tailored to the Customer

Bank of the Orient believes in building trust through years of working together with our customers to foster strong financial relationships. As financial partners, we work closely with our customers in evaluating and analyzing their financial situations. With our professional guidance, we are able to provide a solid solution to fulfill various financial needs.

“Your success is our success”

What sets Bank of the Orient apart from its competitors? The time our staff spends with customers to provide product and service information, as well as business and personal financial advice. For over 46 years, our priority has been to meet our customers’ individual needs, rather than providing the “off-the-shelf” service found in other banks. Our attitude is “Your success is our success”.

We understand the unique financial challenges each person and businesses face. We are committed to serving the diverse and dynamic communities of the Bay Area with our convenient neighborhood locations and multilinguial staff. With Bank of the Orient, you will receive personalized banking service that you deserve, both at our branches in person and conveniently online.
