BANK OF STOCKTON
Over 150 Years of Strength, Stability and Community Involvement
I
t’s not often that the word “sesquicentennial” can be used when referring to the longevity of a business, but that is indeed the case with the Bank of Stockton. Since August 12, 1867, the Bank has been a pillar of tradition and strength in the communities it serves.
The Bank’s footprint spans over nine counties and is comprised of nineteen branches with locations in Stockton, Lodi, Tracy, Manteca, Modesto, Turlock, Elk Grove, the Mother Lode, Napa, Brentwood and Fairfield. All offices hold fast to the founding principles of strength, safety and service with an emphasis on technological innovations to make banking easier. From a suite of cash management products for business clients to the best in online and mobile banking, Bank of Stockton is a modern bank when it comes to its product offerings, with a touch of old world service that makes it truly unique. The Bank also has an unwavering belief in philanthropy and is known for supporting the communities it serves. “A good community bank is there for its customers and reinvests back into the communities it serves in the form of loans,” said Douglass Eberhardt II, President, CEO and Chairman of the Board. As such, the Bank of Stockton is known for being a local lender with local decisionmaking, as well as being actively involved in the communities in which their branches reside. The Bank first entered the Manteca community in 1980 with the acquisition of Mid-Cal National Bank. In response to a growing customer base, a new, larger office was built in the fall of 1997. This 11,750 square foot building with 6 drive up lanes, 60 parking spaces and drive up ATMs replaced the older branch and continues to service the Manteca community today. “The Bank of Stockton reminds me of how banking used to be and should still be,” said Amy Kieffer, AVP/Community Branch Manager for the Manteca branch, “you walk in here, and everyone knows you. We are all about personalized service and helping our community with the products they need, in addition to giving back.” Kieffer has worked at the Bank since 2013. Bank of Stockton’s success can be attributed to a history of sound banking management principles, strong clientele, a loyal staff and dedicated Board of Directors. Wherever you find a Bank of Stockton branch, you will find great people, the best products, a wonderful banking experience, and an organization committed to your community. “It’s not every day that you get to celebrate the distinction of serving customers for over 150 years. We are very proud of surpassing this milestone. It’s an honor to be making history as we celebrate history,” said bank President, CEO and Chairman of the Board, Douglass Eberhardt II. “We look forward to serving customers in our communities for at least another 150 years.” Today, Bank of Stockton is $3.2 billion in assets strong.

Over A Century of Service, A Vision for the Future Over 100 years ago, F&M Bank opened its first branch. In 1916, a group of farmers and business owners gathered in Lodi, California to establish Farmers & Merchants Bank. A lot has changed since then, but F&M Bank has remained true to its founding principles – to remain locally owned and operated, financially strong, invested in the community and dedicated to serving all citizens. For the past few years we’ve been working to bring F&M Bank’s exceptional strength and service to even more Californians. With innovative and forward-thinking, we have grown to 30 full-service locations, including branches in the Bay Area cities of Concord, Walnut Creek and Napa. By providing a truly unique experience that goes beyond customers’ expectations, we deliver creative solutions and simply take the burden of financial management off their shoulders. It is very important to all of us that our customers be extraordinarily pleased with the service they receive. While the times have changed, we remain committed to serving our communities. Since 2010, our employees have contributed over 20,000 volunteer hours to local groups. We’ve supported more than 250 nonprofits, donated over $1.2 million, invested over $47 million and provided more than $187 million in community development loans. Our commitment rests on the belief that we’re far more than a financial institution. We’re a partner. A friend. Someone you can count on to always be there–with old-fashioned courtesy and the modern conveniences that make banking easy and rewarding.

“The nature of a master planned community is to be always changing, always moving ahead toward the fulfillment of its vision,” says Susan Dell’Osso, President of River Islands Development. “This year, River Islands in Lathrop has a number of exciting new additions in its new home neighborhoods, its amenities and its active lifestyle.” Ms. Dell’Osso has a lot to be proud about: with more than 400 homes sold last year, River Islands has been named among the most successful master planned communities in the United States. Models are underway for a number of brand new neighborhoods that will join a host of existing favorites that are continuing to build and grow. Says Ms. Dell’Osso, “By the end of summer, more than 10 neighborhoods and 30 model homes will be open, showcasing the best in design, energy-efficiency and a number of state-of-the-art smart features.” At River Islands, there is an ever-changing array of home designs, square footage, and plan types, including single story and two story plans, downstairs master bedrooms, in-law suites, and up to seven bedrooms. Some of the homes have been designed with lake frontage and docks; others are close to parks, the future downtown retail area and neighborhood schools. All of the homebuilders have been selected to build at River Islands based on their track record and their ability to embrace and enhance the vision of River Islands, now and for years to come. The master plan will be adding a major park later this year, with more than 15 acres set aside for community gatherings and recreation. A 500-seat baseball stadium , called Islanders Field, is one of River Islands’ most exciting new amenities, as are six tournament size soccer fields, designed for competitive play. The popular River Islands Farmers Market is returning in the spring, to enhance the community’s farm to table lifestyle. Ongoing programs for health and wellness are tied into activities as diverse as a runners club, which enjoys the community’s San Joaquin River trail, a bocce league which meets at The Boathouse restaurant and pub, a boat rental program to provide more access to the community’s system of lakes and a neighborhood dog park, complete with separate areas for big and small dogs. River Islands has two schools, both K-8, open within the community. River Islands Technology Academy and the Next Generation STEAM Academy are both charter schools, with wide-reaching curricula. For more information about River Islands, visit its website at riverislands.com. The Welcome Center is open daily from 10 -5.
