Umpqua Bank started life with six employees in Canyonville, Oregon in 1953. Back then we treated people like we'd known them all our lives because mostly we had. Today, we're still a community bank with the same attitude toward taking care of people and a deep dedication to being a local resource.
Our number one goal isn't to be the biggest bank in the world. It's to deliver the best banking experience possible. One of the ways we're doing that is by remaining tightly tied to our communities. By contributing our time and resources to local organizations and events, we make a difference in the communities we live and work in. When the community succeeds, we all succeed.
When it comes to banking, we love to create new experiences for our customers to enjoy. So banking can be about a lot of things-mostly, it's about exceeding expectations. That's why in addition to taking care of transactions, we offer our own blend of coffee, a computer cafe and local music. Many of our stores even offer after-hours activities, from financial seminars to knitting and book clubs. We believe the more enjoyable banking is, the less it will feel like an errand.
Because of our forward-thinking philosophy, we've designed our workplace to be different too. Umpqua associates experience an empowering environment full of opportunities for rewards, recognition, professional growth and valuable time toward an industry-leading, employer-paid volunteer program.
Umpqua Bank is proud to be recognized by our associates and FORTUNE magazine as one of the "100 Best Companies to Work For" in 2007
So whether you're looking for a new place to bank or a new place to hang your hat, stop in and say hello over a nice cup of coffee. With 144 stores throughout Washington, Oregon and California, there's bound to be an Umpqua Bank just down the street.
