The Vision Behind Insight One20
Relevant
Southern California is the number one small business-driven economy in the U.S. with an estimated 350,000 small businesses. In 2010 Los Angeles was ranked third largest economic center on the planet based on city-level GDP per capita, trailing only New York #1 and Tokyo #2*. The region achieves this economic clout despite having very few Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the market. Small business is the engine of economic growth in Southern California.

Vital
As the number one manufacturing zone in the U.S. and the number one trading partner with China, the Southern California economy exerts state-wide, national and global clout. Insight that helps drive the small business engine of Southern California effects the regional, state and national economies providing a more stable job market.

Synergistic
Awarded many times for excellence in business banking, City National primarily serves businesses in the $1MM to $20MM range. As the largest commercial bank founded and headquartered in Southern California, City National knows this market and has consistently distinguished itself as the go-to source for expertise and services related to small business finance and banking across the diverse industry sectors of Southern California.
