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.
With 11 local branches, over 5600 shared locations, and 30,000 in-network ATMs, you'll never be too far from your funds.
We're not like the big banks. As a not-for-profit, funds go back to our community and members, not shareholders.
We've got it all: local rewards, competitive rates on a variety of accounts, and innovative products like teacher loans and 0% youth agriculture loans!
