On October 1, 2024, 1st Capital Bank merged with West Coast Community Bancorp, parent company for Santa Cruz County Bank. Banking offices for 1st Capital Bank will operate as “a division of Santa Cruz County Bank” until the launch of a new bank name in the second quarter of 2025. All branches of the combined bank will be rebranded as West Coast Community Bank. The new brand reflects the Bank’s commitment to serving a larger territory while maintaining its community bank focus and personalized service delivery. True to its community roots, the new West Coast Community Bank will continue to support regional well-being by actively participating in and donating to local nonprofit organizations in Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Luis Obispo Counties.
