Santa Cruz County Bank announced the opening of a new full-service branch at 584 Munras Street, Monterey, California. The 584 Munras Street building, built in 1984, was purchased by the Bank in April 2020 and has undergone an extensive remodel over the past several months and is now open for business. The new branch is centrally located at the corner of Munras Avenue and Webster Street in downtown Monterey. In 2019, having served area clients for many years, the Bank announced its plan to open its first branch in the Salinas /Monterey region and hired Rich Aiello, SVP, Relationship Manger, to lead the effort. The new branch has been staffed with a team of well-known bankers who will serve existing clients and support the development of new relationships in Salinas, Monterey and contiguous market areas.
