Established in 2008, the bank currently operates 24 branches, strategically serving the Asian-American communities primarily in LA and NYC, and to a lesser extent, in Chicago, Las Vegas, and Hawaii.
RBB’s growth strategy has historically been centered around building market share in Southern California, which has been accomplished through M&A (7 deals since 2011), although acquisitions have also been utilized to expand to targeted geographic regions.
The company’s business model is primarily designed to respond to the financial needs of first-generation Asian American customers, with a focus on residential mortgages lending (mainly non-QM loans), currently comprising 53% of total loans.
