[edit] History
South Umpqua State Bank was formed in 1953 in Canyonville, Oregon with six employees. It was started by a group of people working in the timber-logging business who wanted to create a means for their lumberjacks to cash their payroll checks.
On January 16, 2009, Umpqua agreed to assume the deposits of Vancouver, Washington-based Bank of Clark County after the latter bank was seized by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.[3]
On January 22, 2010, Umpqua agreed to assume the deposits of Seattle, Washington-based Evergreen Bank after being closed by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) was appointed receiver.[4]
On February 26, 2010, Umpqua agreed to take over the deposits of Tacoma, Washington-based Rainier Pacific Bank, after it was seized by the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation).[5]
On March 4, 2010, Umpqua acquired the banking operations of Rainier Pacific Bank in a purchase agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.[6]
[edit] Differentiation
Umpqua Bank has enjoyed some notability in the 21st century for its setup of bank branches. Traditionally, bank branches house back-office operations and administrators, along with secure deposit areas. Umpqua Bank's branches are called 'stores', with a greater emphasis on retail operations and atmosphere than traditional bank branches.[7]
Umpqua Bank stores also have a relatively flat administrative hierarchy. Bank stores consist of only one Store Manager, with all other employees being referred to as 'Universal Associates'. The execution of this concept was billed as removing the, "thats not my department," thinking of employees and empowering all associates with the ability to work in all areas of a traditionally specialized banking industry.[8]
[edit] Current lending activities
The Bank makes both secured and unsecured loans to individuals and businesses. In December 2005, real estate construction/development, real estate mortgage, commercial/industrial and consumer/other loans represented approximately 16%, 63%, 19% and 2% respectively, of the total loan portfolio.
The Company offers loans for business and commercial customers, including accounts receivable and inventory financing, equipment loans, real estate construction loans and permanent financing and small business administration (SBA) program financing. The Company also offers loan products for small businesses through its small business lending center. Commercial real estate lending is the primary focus of the Company's lending activities and a significant portion of its loan portfolio consist of commercial real estate loans. The Company provides funding for income-producing real estate, though a substantial share of its commercial real estate loans are for owner-occupied projects of commercial loan customers and for borrowers it has financed for many years.
Real estate loans are available for construction, purchase and refinancing of residential owner-occupied and rental properties. Borrowers can choose from a variety of fixed and adjustable-rate options and terms. Umpqua sells residential real estate loans that it originates into the secondary market. Umpqua also provide loans to individual borrowers, for a variety of purposes, including secured and unsecured personal loans, home equity and personal lines of credit, and motor vehicle loans.
