EverBank, a national specialty bank serving clients across the United States, opened its first West Coast financial center in Encino, CA. The financial center growth in California is led by Patrick Nygren, head of retail banking and a veteran Los Angeles banker, along with regional manager Brian Gilpatrick, who oversees retail operations across the state.
“The opening of our financial center in Encino underscores EverBank’s commitment to building relationships in the communities we serve,” Greg Seibly, CEO of EverBank, said. “As we expand across California, we’re focused on introducing EverBank’s performance-driven, client centric products and services to even more consumer and commercial clients, delivering financial advantage everyone deserves from their bank.”
Later this year, EverBank will open a second West Coast financial center in Roseville, CA. In 2025, EverBank will significantly expand its financial center network in the Bay Area, metro Los Angeles and Orange County when it completes the acquisition of Sterling Bank & Trust. The acquisition, which was announced in September and is expected to be completed in Q1/25, includes 25 Sterling Bank branches in California.
EverBank is also expanding its commercial lending and business banking services across California, including the recent launch of EverBank’s Southern California commercial banking division and the launch earlier this year of the bank’s multifamily lending business, focused sharply on the California market.
“There’s so much room for growth and opportunity in Southern California, and we’re proud to help clients tap into that advantage as we join the Encino and greater regional community,” Nygren said. “With a dedicated, knowledgeable team on the ground, we’re bringing a fresh approach to banking to the region, focused on innovation, accessibility and deeply personalized services that support the growth of local individuals and businesses.”
