Glad to hear of a local bank growing. This should help the SGV economy. Anyone that doesn't understand this importance really shouldn't be reading the news.

Looking forward to East/West Bank installing up-dated security measures in their new branches as they have in the past making them "Robbery Proof" and the safest banks in the country instead of giving away free pizzas also rumored East/West breaking away from Banking Cartels policy and will be flying our American Flag in front of the banks.
Love America!

In theory you're correct, but there is no mention of the number of current employees will be downsized due to this buyout/merger as was the case this entire year when E/W gobbled up other failed banks with Asian financial backers, just Google E/W website and FDIC bank histories.

Mr. X, Well it didn't take long; on 11-19 the secure East West Bank on 17713 Bl., Artesia had another take-over robbery, wonder what type of security measures didn't work this time or do they bother with those things. Great photos of Bank Terrorist jumping counter on FBI websites.
