Banking on Community

Every loan we approve, hour we volunteer, and dollar we donate stays right here—fueling the people, projects, and places that make the North State home.

Local Money. Local Momentum

Golden Valley Bank was founded in Chico with a simple promise: relationships first, banking second. That principle guides every decision we make—whether it’s underwriting a start‑up on Main Street, sponsoring a youth softball league, or helping neighbors rebuild after wildfire season. When you bank with us, you’re not sending profits to a distant headquarters; you’re reinvesting in classrooms, small businesses, and community dreams across Butte, Shasta, and Tehama counties.
