Hear From Selby Soil Erosion Control (SSEC)
 
"I'm really proud we have built the largest erosion control company on the West Coast and we're still able to service all of our customers and still have a 24-hour response time for any natural disasters that California might throw at us. In order for a small company to be successful, you really need a good, local community bank that you can count on. Jen and Five Star Bank have really stepped-up to the challenge of giving us great credit lines, equipment financing and anything we need to continue to grow our company."

Jay Selby, President of SSEC 

"I specialize in working with small to medium sized companies in the Greater Sacramento Region. What I enjoy most about working with SSEC is that they are a local, family-owned company that's multi-generational. They've been around for over 50 years. It's great to see Jay continue his father's legacy."

Being able to pick-up the phone and call my banker and ask for information or for their input to a problem is the best!

The biggest benefit of working with Five Star Bank as compared to other small business banks and large corporate banks is having actual people and real relationships with the staff.  Five Star Bank directly helped grow my business from a father-son start-up to a small manufacturing facility. They provided us with the rotating capital and improvement capital we needed to grow our business. They did so through an easy-to-follow, well communicated process that provided transparency and understanding. Five Star Bank helped us create a credit line, investment capital and a building purchase mortgage at a great rate, with easy terms. We could not be happier with this business relationship.
