Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc., the holding company of Pacific Premier Bank, announced a multi-year partnership with the National Football League’s Los Angeles Chargers. As part of this relationship, Pacific Premier Bank will proudly serve as the Official Business Bank of the Chargers.
 
Pacific Premier Bank, which now has an expanded presence in the Los Angeles market with its recently acquired branch locations in the cities of Pasadena, Montebello, El Segundo, and Manhattan Beach, will provide the Chargers with tailor-fit business banking products and services.

“We are excited about our new relationship with the Los Angeles Chargers and look forward to providing a wide array of banking services to the region’s newest professional sports organization,” said Steven R. Gardner, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pacific Premier Bancorp. “Like the Chargers, we pride ourselves on an unwavering commitment to the communities we serve. Working with the Chargers provides a strong platform for our own presence in the Los Angeles market and gives us the opportunity to promote our brand to the Chargers passionate and loyal fans. We believe that this is a natural fit and a promising partnership.”

This is not the first foray into North American professional sports for Pacific Premier Bank, which has served as the Official Business Bank of the National Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks since the 2014-2015 season.

“We’re extremely pleased to partner with Pacific Premier Bank, an organization that shares our values of family, philanthropy and now, football,” said Chargers President of Business Operations A.G. Spanos. “Pacific Premier Bank’s focus on serving small and middle market businesses across Southern California aligns seamlessly with our commitment to serving the community and making a tangible difference in the lives of those around us.”
