Started by a group of teachers in the 50s after being denied loans from the traditional 'big banks', Community First has grown into a member-owned cooperative over 60,000 strong, spanning our five-county footprint of Lake, Mendocino, Sonoma, Marin, and Napa counties. We are still dedicated to empowering all who live in our communities with the best financial products, services, and education. From in-class financial literacy programs, to innovative loans and the best tech, we're redefining local banking.
