About New Omni Bank

We were founded in 1980 on a simple idea of helping our neighbors—a community of immigrants in Los Angeles, coming from diverse backgrounds, finding it hard to get precise banking solutions for their unique needs. 

For over four decades of creativity, innovative thinking, and above all – attentiveness, are the hallmarks of our services. Coupled with our extensive network and on-the-ground expertise, we’ve been the catalyst for countless clients, guiding them to grow and thrive in California, across the Pacific, and at every twist and turn. Our legacy of empowerment is proven by continuous recognitions, like a 5-Star Rating from BauerFinancial, Inc. for over 40 quarters.
