Retirement Options

The retirement options are a bit sparse compared to what other banks have to offer. For example, a rollover or 401(k) is not available for individuals through California Bank and Trust. The only retirement solutions they have to offer include:

• Certificates of Deposit
• IRAs

Limited Locations

California Bank and Trust only operates within the state of California. Their physical branches can only be found up and down the west coast. With such limited availability, a major drawback is the fact that only California residents and businesses can use their services.
