River Valley Community Bancorp announces Auburn branch

Yuba City’s River Valley Community Bancorp with its wholly owned subsidiary, River Valley Community Bank, received formal approval from banking regulators to proceed with opening a new, full service, branch office in Auburn.

The Bank first opened for business in Yuba City in 2006 and opened a second branch in Grass Valley in 2013.

“Since its inception, the bank has grown steadily by offering a local, relationship banking experience that has been valued by its customers,” said CEO John M. Jelavich in a news release. The Bank is primarily focused on meeting business and commercial banking, but also has a full suite of competitive personal banking products, services, and banking technology.

“We are excited to be expanding our bank to serve the Auburn market,” Jelavich said. “We believe our brand of banking, along with our competitive products and services, will be well received by local businesses, non-profits, and consumers who desire the community banking experience we deliver.”

The Auburn Branch will be located at 905 Lincoln Way Suite #100 and is expected to open this summer.

The bank is rated “5Star Superior” by Bauer Financial and serves its customer base through its offices located at: 1629 Colusa Avenue, Yuba City; 426 Sutton Way, Grass Valley (relocating to River Valley Community Bank Plaza at 580 Brunswick Rd, Grass Valley this fall); and soon at 905 Lincoln Way, Auburn.
