City National Bank has announced the expansion of its private bank team across California, adding 10 experienced private bankers to serve the state’s growing population of high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, multigenerational families, business owners and nonprofit leaders.
The new bankers bring extensive experience in private banking, wealth management, commercial lending, trust and estate services, and client advisory services. Their strong expertise will support the continued growth of City National Private Bank and deepen its ability to provide clients and organizations with tailored financial insights and solutions.
These hires are part of City National’s overall investment in its private banking and wealth management capabilities led by Brandon Williams, who was named executive vice president and head of private bank and wealth management at City National in September 2025 after serving in the role on an interim basis since June.
