A longtime bank building in downtown Danville has a new tenant, with Bay Area-based Poppy Bank continuing its expansion efforts into Contra Costa County earlier this fall.
The stage is also set for another San Ramon Valley location in the new year.
Poppy Bank took over the unit vacated by First Republic Bank on the south side of downtown Danville, celebrating its grand-opening at 680 Hartz Ave. on Sept. 25 and holding its ribbon-cutting ceremony almost a month later, according to bank officials.
The financial institution had opened a new full-service branch in downtown Walnut Creek not long before, and another location is scheduled to begin operations in San Ramon in early 2026, bank officials said – without sharing where the San Ramon branch would be.
“As Poppy Bank continues to grow, we look forward to extending our services further into the East Bay with the opening of our Danville branch,” President and CEO Khalid Acheckzai said in a press release. “As a community bank, we are invested in the economic prosperity of each area we serve, and we look forward to building relationships and supporting the businesses and individuals that make up this tight-knit community.”
Headquartered in Santa Rosa and boasting assets of $7 billion, Poppy Bank plans to soon reach more than 40 branches throughout California in addition to loan production offices in Northern and Southern California, as well as Nevada, Arizona and Texas.
