American Riviera Bank has expanded its commercial banking capabilities with the opening of a comprehensive Treasury Services Group, as well as the reorganization of its Client Services Team.

“These strategic moves demonstrate the bank’s commitment to supporting the complex financial needs of diverse industries that operate throughout the Central Coast,” the bank said.

“At our core, we’ve always been about empowering businesses to thrive,” said Bobby Boyes, regional client services manager for the Santa Barbara area.

“Our banking relationship officers have been the backbone of this mission, providing easy access to banking experts and support for our businesses,” Boyes said. “Now, we’re taking it up a notch by bringing dedicated client services officers on board to work hand-in-hand with our new business clients, ensuring they have all the tools, accounts, and support they need to hit the ground running.”

Angela Sanchez joined the team as senior client services officer with a focus on serving the business needs of the Goleta area. Sanchez has some 20 years of finance and banking experience.

American Riviera Bank also has added a Treasury Services Group that will provide tailored treasury solutions for companies managing substantial transaction volumes and sophisticated financial operations, the bank said.

The Treasury Services Group is led by vice president Holly Onak, who brings 20 years of banking expertise such as financial analysis, treasury management, lending, and relationship management to the American Riviera Bank team.

“Our clients are seeking strategic partners who understand their unique business challenges and can deliver sophisticated financial solutions,” said Onak.

“This expansion allows us to offer the personalized attention of a community bank while providing the advanced treasury capabilities typically associated with national financial institutions.” she said.

The Treasury Services Group offers customized payment and collection solutions, advanced liquidity management strategies, and state-of-the-art digital banking platforms.

A cornerstone of this new capability is concierge-level service which helps eliminate the friction and pain points found when transitioning banks,” the bank said.
