SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- California Bank & Trust (CB&T) (www.calbanktrust.com) is pleased to announce that it has completed the conversion of the former Alliance Bank accounts and buildings into California Bank & Trust. More than 6,000 deposit accounts have been fully integrated into the California Bank & Trust banking system. California Bank & Trust acquired the deposits and loans of Alliance Bank from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on February 9, 2009.

"California Bank & Trust is pleased to announce that the conversion of Alliance Bank to California Bank & Trust was a smooth transition. Now former Alliance customers can benefit from joining our bank which has an array of financial products and high-quality customer service," said Scott Monson, executive vice president and managing director of commercial banking division at California Bank & Trust. "California Bank & Trust clients will be able to enjoy the added branches in the Southern California area and we look forward to a long and beneficial relationship with all of our clients."

In addition to the three new full-service commercial banking offices now available as a result of the conversion, former Alliance bank business customers will now have access to time-saving and beneficial products like California Bank & Trust's Remote Deposit. Remote Deposit enables a business to scan paper checks directly from the office and transmit those images to the bank via a secure internet connection. This and many other customer-focused products are the hallmark of the financial services California Bank & Trust delivers on a daily basis.

With the Alliance bank conversion complete, California Bank & Trust now has 93 branches within the state of California, which include the new branches in Culver City, Woodland Hills and Brentwood.
