A Recipe for Dealing with Life's Little Realities: "Customers First"

Orange County Business Journal, May 21-May 27, 2007

In life, there are certain realities we just have to accept. We'll all have a bad hair day now and then, we'll never really understand our parents' choice of music and, eventually, we'll try a healthy recipe and really hate it.

Managing money is another of life's necessities - but, there's good news here. Community banks like PFF Bank & Trust specialize in helping consumers and business owners.

Managing money, for young and old, is a lot easier when selecting a bank that is local and community-focused like PFF Bank & Trust. Here are the ingredients to a successful banking relationship:

A complete range of options that meet financial needs for every phase of life - young saver accounts, checking plans, equity and home loans, and Certificates of Deposits that can make your money multiply faster than a pet rabbit.

For business owners, cash management tools and SBA loans as well as commercial and construction loans that literally help build a business.

When all that money won't fit in that old cracked piggy bank anymore, a complete array of wealth management options, including retirement plan accounts, estate and trust services, and investment programs.

And the most important ingredient at PFF - a service approach many large, out-of-state banks simply can't provide is described in two simple words - "Customers First." And that's a healthy recipe many just can't get enough of.

PFF Bank & Trust, headquartered in the Inland Empire, enjoys more than a century of service to local communities. PFF offers a network of 36 branches in eastern Los Angeles, northern Orange County, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, and is planning to add more branch facilities in the Inland Empire this year.

The community bank also provides trust services locally through its branches and two trust offices (Claremont and Palm Desert). Visit www.pffbank.com to learn more about PFF Bank & Trust.
