About

California Bank & Trust's Mission Gorge branch in Grantville has operated from 6313 Mission Gorge Road, San Diego 92120, since 1975, making it one of the longest-tenured banking locations on the corridor. The branch sits roughly a half-mile north of SDSU's campus boundary, drawing a mix of student accounts, Grantville commercial tenants, and residential depositors from Allied Gardens and Del Cerro. CB&T is a division of Zions Bancorporation, N.A., a national bank chartered in 1873 that formed the California subsidiary in 1998 by merging Sumitomo Bank of California, Grossmont Bank, and First Pacific National Bank into a single entity now operating more than 80 branches statewide. Auto lending is a natural fit for this location: the Grantville auto corridor runs directly past the branch, and Norm Reeves Toyota San Diego sends financing customers to the same stretch of Mission Gorge Road. The branch provides full-service personal banking — checking, savings, CDs, and credit cards — alongside small-business lending, SBA-program guidance, and commercial deposit services for the restaurants and service businesses lining the corridor. Home-loan origination covers conventional, jumbo, FHA, and VA products, with the branch processing purchase and refinance applications for the surrounding 92120 ZIP. A notary public on staff handles real-estate closings, power-of-attorney filings, and commercial documents, a convenience that Grantville agents at Raul Lopez, Keeps it Real Estate use for same-day signings. Wealth-management referrals connect high-balance clients to CB&T's private-banking division for trust administration, investment management, and estate-planning coordination. The San Diego-area routing number for ACH and wire transfers is 122232109, and the branch supports mobile deposit, online bill pay, and Zelle integration across all personal and business accounts.
