City National Bank acquires Sun West Bank
City National Bank acquired the banking operations of Las Vegas-based Sun West Bank on May 28 under an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
City National will acquire seven banking offices and approximately $352 million in assets, including about $252 million in loans that will be subject to a loss-sharing agreement with the FDIC. It also will assume about $311 million of deposits.
"The cost-effective acquisition of Sun West Bank expands City National's commitment to Nevada and reflects our confidence in the state's long-term economic prospects," said Chief Executive Officer Russell Goldsmith. "Sun West and City National fit well together, especially given that all seven of Sun West's banking offices are located in the northern and southern Nevada communities that City National now serves."
City National has been doing business in Nevada since 2007 and has eight branches, including one in Carson City at 1811 College Pkwy. There are no Sun West locations in Nevada's capital.
