ORANGE COUNTY PRIVATE WEALTH HUB

Branch overview

Our Irvine office is one of only 19 Private Wealth Hubs nationwide — designed to serve the complex needs of high-net-worth clients through direct access to in-house specialists in lending, trust, charitable giving, estate planning, and investment strategy.

As an advisor, you’ll collaborate locally with partners from the Commercial Bank, Corporate & Investment Bank, and the Private Bank experience — delivering integrated, institution-level solutions rarely available at other firms.

We also offer one of the industry’s most competitive succession and acquisition programs — for advisors planning retirement, seeking to grow through book acquisitions, or preparing for long-term continuity.

Whether you’re building in our traditional W-2 model or considering a move to independence in the future, our platform gives you the flexibility to grow your business your way.
