Founded in 1954 in Beverly Hills, California, City National Bank has built its reputation on providing highly personalized banking and wealth management services. Often referred to as the "bank to the stars" due to its deep roots in the entertainment industry, it focuses on relationship-based service for high-net-worth individuals and private businesses. In 2015, City National was acquired by Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), becoming a subsidiary that continues to operate under its own brand. The bank's mission is to provide its clients with the ultimate banking experience through tailored solutions and a high level of personal service.
