Fullerton Community Bank was first chartered by the State of California on July 9, 1927 as Fullerton Building and Loan Association and has operated continously since that date. The Association obtained federal deposit insurance in 1945, and in 1953, the name was changed to Fullerton Savings and Loan. On November 13, 1991, Fullerton Savings converted from a state chartered savings and loan to a federally chartered savings bank. Fullerton Community Bank now proudly defines itself as a locally owned, community-oriented, full service bank, which has demonstrated steady, controlled growth over the years and unparalleled commitment to personalized service and value-added products.
