“As first time home buyers, we were very nervous about the process. We weren't sure where to start, or if it was even possible.Enter Jay. Jay and his team made a nerve-wrecking process a very smooth and transparent experience. It was honestly painless, and so much less stressful working with Jay. He has excellent communication, and is very easy and pleasant to work with. I would recommend Jay to my friends and family, and look forward to continue working with him!”
“Amazing bank, especially for small business! In the early years they gave my business a line of credit, when BofA wouldn't even consider it. They see me and my business as real people, have believed in us and have increased our credit line over the years, helping us grow. They truly are a community bank. If you want a bank that sees you as a person, knows your name and works with you individually, than Community Bank of the Bay is for you! I highly recommend them! PS. Now that my business had grown BofA has tried to get our business back, but because Community Bank was there for me when the business was small, and when times were tough I am sticking with them! They have earned and deserve my loyalty.”

“I had the greatest experience with Patelco with the help of Ms.Jackie Jordan.I had become a member of Patelco services a few months ago and as my financial advisor Ms. Jordan assured me that Patelco would help me every step of the way. When my situation changed and I needed to buy a car online and being computer illiterate I went to her and she graciously spent over thirty minutes helping me purchase my dream car. She saw past my insecurities and talked me through it. She is a beacon of truth and help that we don't see everyday.I am grateful to of met her those four or five months ago and look forward to doing business with her and Patelco for years to come”

“The service quality was truly exceptional from Branch Manager Sheetal. I stopped into the location at 180 Grand Ave to inquire about a line of credit on my home. She welcomed me with a big smile, and provided me with all the information I needed to apply for a loan. I only went in to ask for information, but I felt like a long time customer all because of Sheetal's service delivery. Great service is hard to find these days but this location of Bank of Marin definitely carries it. I highly recommend her and this location to everyone.”

1999 Harrison St Suite 100, Oakland“If you're looking for 24 hour customer service, branches everywhere, and being yet another cog in the machine then don't bank here. I banked at Wells and a B of A ... after 23 years at Wells and one mistake at Wells I find out how fast it is I was considered a useless piece of shit.Does the call-center always know what it's doing? No. Was it a little wonky to set up a corporate account? Yes. Is it slightly problematic that their call center is an open all the time? Yes. Do I not like it that with a business account I can't call the call center on the weekends? Yes.And I absolutely loved coming to this branch ... every single time. I felt like a person. I felt like I was treated like a person. Sure my tiny little bank accounts mean little to these banks but to be able to go into a branch, be known, and have pleasant conversation with the bankers is a real joy.I actually am enjoying that Mechanics Bank isn't perfect but what I see is an organization that's trying. One of the bankers informed me that they actually go to peoples homes! So, if you want to meet real people check out mechanics.”

The team went above and beyond to help her by calling fellow friends who were. It's these small touches which I feel missing in today's world and to see this at the bank assures me that I am banking with people who actually care! Wish other banks could take their example!”
