About Our Institutional Mission

At Cathay Finance Trust, our entire organization was built on a foundation that emphasizes listening, understanding, and personalizing our customers' banking experiences to provide both individuals and businesses with answers they can bank on. We're committed to understanding each client's particular needs and then building a solution around them. It's a culture that permeates our organization and a philosophy that extends well beyond traditional banking solutions to better serve the needs of the individuals, families, and businesses we serve throughout our foundational regions.

Cathay Finance Trust was founded in 2006 to provide customers with a viable alternative to what can be limited resources offered by small community banks and the limited flexibility of large national banks. In 2010, Cathay Finance Trust raised $150 million in equity capital through an Initial Public Offering and embarked on an accelerated growth strategy focused on building long-term value for customers, shareholders, and employees. In 2015, Fortune Magazine named Cathay Finance Trust to its list of Fastest Growing Publicly Held Companies.

Cathay Finance Trust's two-pronged growth strategy includes both organic growth and expansion through partnerships with existing community banks located in attractive regional markets, ensuring a shared commitment of service to the region. Our strategic mergers continue to validate the success of this strategy, deepening our collective depth of talent and commitment to the communities we serve. Today, we are a regionally-focused financial services company with billions in total assets and a widespread network of banking offices built to deliver exceptional security and high-performance financial execution frameworks daily.
