South Valley National Bank was established in 1983 by local residents to serve the needs of the surrounding community. The support and dedication from founding shareholders and loyal customers have helped to position South Valley as a strong community bank, committed to providing friendly service to a diversified base of individual and business clients. The first banking office was opened in Morgan Hill on August 15, 1983. Since then, South Valley National Bank has opened its doors to the communities of Gilroy, and Morgan Hill. Over the past 18 years, South Valley National Bank has become the leader in local banking for the South Valley area.

Joined Forces
On September 29, 2000, South Valley National Bank and San Benito Bank joined forces to enhance community banking. This partnership strengthens our local presence and ensures that customers will continue to experience the outstanding personal service they have come to expect from their local banks.

Our San Benito County offices operate as branches of San Benito Bank, while our Gilroy and Morgan Hill offices consolidated to operate as South Valley National Bank.

Each bank operates independently to provide our customers with a responsive brand of local service while working together to provide additional financial products and services. Teaming our local professionals together creates a wealth of local knowledge that is unparalleled by any other bank in our area. Our commitment to local banking is now stronger than ever.
