American Business Bank Announces New Loan Production Office in San Diego, CA

“While serving the best clients in Southern California, we knew San Diego was an inevitable and strategic location,” says Leon Blankstein, CEO of ABB. “Our team of highly talented bankers have experience serving the San Diego market and are eager to expand that reach, through true banking relationships, care and exceptional service.”

American Business Bank announced its further expansion with the addition of its San Diego Regional Office. The new Loan Production Office (LPO) marks a natural progression in the Bank’s growing footprint across Southern California. Having established relationships with select clients in the region over the years, the timing is now ideal to formally introduce an LPO to better serve the needs of local businesses.

Led by Senior Vice President John Hartwig and First Vice President Ana Calvert, the new team brings over 60 years of combined experience in client-focused commercial banking. With their deep expertise, they are well-positioned to support San Diego’s thriving privately owned businesses. ABB’s client-centric culture is a perfect match for the area, where small to mid-sized, family-run businesses are the heart of the community.

“Our plan is to build out our LPO brick by brick, client by client, banker by banker while continuing to serve best-in-class, privately owned, middle market companies,” Hartwig adds.
