With “everybody else” dead or gone, a California bank grows

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:25:02 GMT

By Eliyahu Kamisher and Max Reyes, BloombergFrom his office just outside Los Angeles, Dominic Ng watched as California banks fell like dominoes — first crypto-friendly Silvergate Capital Corp. down near San Diego in early March, then Silicon Valley Bank up north days later, followed by San Francisco’s First Republic Bank at the beginning of May.Once the regional-banking turmoil eased, Ng found himself head of the biggest surviving California-chartered bank. The deposit base at his Pasadena-based East West Bancorp Inc. grew by $921.4 million, or 2%, in the months after the collapse of its peers. With $68.5 billion in total assets, East West is the only state bank with more than $50 billion in assets, a level that triggers closer scrutiny by state regulators.“I didn’t grow that much,” Ng, 64, said in an interview shortly before crosstown rival PacWest Bancorp agreed to a takeover by smaller competitor Banc of California Inc. as part of the fallout from this year’s upheaval. “It’...

The news out of Hawaii has been deeply tragic. The Maui disaster is already the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century, and the island’s death toll continues to rise, with hundreds still missing.And the cluster of fires that broke out on Aug. 8 all but erased Lahaina, one of America’s most picturesque and historic towns. As I discovered when I visited years ago, Lahaina was a magical place where you could stroll Front Street and watch the sunset over the neighboring islands or visit landmarks from Lahaina’s days as a royal capital, a missionary center, and a shore-leave destination for rowdy whalers.But beyond the tragedy, the Lahaina horror offers lessons for us in Colorado, where we are no strangers to devastating wildfires and where we now realize that the flames can strike communities we once thought were safe. It’s a warning siren.It didn’t take long for officials to note similarities between the Lahaina blaze and the Marshall Fire that swe...
