PROFESSIONAL FIDUCIARY BANKING

Specialized accounts, tools and bankers for the way fiduciaries work.

Banc of California’s fiduciary banking team works with professional fiduciaries, trust and probate attorneys, and their clients to support case-account setup, FDIC coverage options for larger estate balances, and view-only access for authorized advisors.
