West Coast Community Bank is indeed the exact same financial institution as the former Santa Cruz County Bank. The community bank officially executed a corporate name change to West Coast Community Bank to better reflect its broader regional growth, expansion across the Central Coast of California, and comprehensive service delivery model. Despite the change in name and refreshed branding elements on its digital channels and physical branches, the underlying corporate structure, routing numbers, local management team, dedicated staff, and commitment to relationship-based community banking remain entirely unchanged.
