Serving the Northern California Region

TriCo Bancshares serves as the holding company for Tri Counties Bank. Based in Chico, California, the bank provides traditional retail and commercial banking services, including small business loans, mortgages, and wealth management. It has been in operation since 1975 and focuses on serving individual and corporate customers across its branch network.

What's Ahead for TCBK

As with all insider filings, these reports show past actions and may not reflect the current sentiment or future plans of the bank's leadership team.
