CHINO COMMERCIAL BANK INCLUDED IN U.S. BANKER MAGAZINE’S LIST OF TOP 200 COMMUNTIY BANKS
U.S. Banker magazine included Chino Commercial Bank in its list of the top 200 community banks. The June 2007 edition of U.S. Banker magazine compiled a list of the top performing community banks in the country, based on average Return on Equity (ROE). The list was compiled from banks with total assets of less then one billion dollars.
Dann H. Bowman, the bank’s President and CEO stated “We are very pleased to make the list. Out of roughly 7,500 community banks across the country, to be included in the top 200 is quite an honor.” Chino Commercial Bank was selected because of its average ROE over the past three years of 12.74%, and it’s ROA of 13.92% in 2006.
Chino Commercial Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chino Commercial Bancorp, which is traded under the symbol “CCBC”.
