Five Star Bank is a key banking
partner in the Capital Region and is
the only community bank focused
on serving organizations through highly
customized solutions. Partnering with the
Greater Sacramento Area Economic Council
(GSEC) perfectly aligns with the bank’s
goal of catalyzing economic growth in the
Capital Region.
Five Star Bank’s President & CEO, James
Beckwith, said, “Organizations bank with
us because of our entrepreneurial and
empathetic spirit, speed to serve and deep
connection to our market. And they trust us.”
Five Star Bank’s expertise ranges from
commercial real estate and construction to
faith community, non-profits, agriculture,
government and special districts, SBA,
manufactured housing and storage,
technology and emerging markets, and
more. Beckwith said, “With a commitment
to community and a focus on reinvestment
in the Capital Region, Five Star Bank helps
organizations sustain their success. This kind
of partnership matters to our customers and
it matters to us.”
Currently, Beckwith is a Director on the Board
of GSEC, along with Five Star Bank Directors
Larry Allbaugh (CEO of Buzz Oates) and Dave
Lucchetti (CEO of Pacific Coast Building
Products). Many of Five Star Bank’s customers
are also aligned with GSEC’s goal of ensuring
our region’s economic success, including
George Grinzewitsch, Owner-CEO of Von
Housen Automotive Group (and another
GSEC Board member). “We value working
with locally-based community partners such
as Five Star Bank,” said Grinzewitsch, “and we
look forward to working together to make our
region stronger every day.”
Founded in 1999 by a group of local
entrepreneurs, Five Star Bank recently
surpassed $1 Billion in assets and is among
the top 10% of performing banks in the
nation for banks of its size, with numerous
“Best of the Best” ratings and achievements.
The bank’s founders wanted to create a bank
driven by community stewardship, regional
and industry expertise and commitment to
economic development. They succeeded.
Today, Five Star Bank is proud to be one of
the Capital Region’s greatest success stories.
