About Bank of Hope: 2016 BBCN + Wilshire merger to largest US Korean-American bank
Korean-American banking heritage
Bank of Hope’s heritage traces back to multiple Korean-American banks founded in Los Angeles, New York, and New Jersey from the 1970s through the 1990s, primarily serving the rapidly growing Korean-American immigrant business and consumer community. Notable predecessor banks include Center Bank, Nara Bank, and Wilshire Bank, each serving Korean-American customers across the major US Korean-American population centers.
2011: Center Bank and Nara Bank merge to form BBCN Bank
In 2011, two of the largest Korean-American banks, Center Bank and Nara Bank, merged to form BBCN Bank. The BBCN merger created one of the largest Korean-American banks at the time and set the stage for further consolidation.
2016: BBCN and Wilshire Bank merge to form Bank of Hope
In 2016, BBCN Bank merged with Wilshire Bank (another major Korean-American Los Angeles bank) to form Bank of Hope. The combined Hope Bancorp holding company became the largest Korean-American bank holding company in the United States, with approximately $13 billion in assets at the time of merger. The new bank kept the LA Koreatown headquarters location.
2025: Territorial Bancorp Hawaii acquisition
In 2025, Hope Bancorp completed its acquisition of Territorial Bancorp, the Honolulu-headquartered parent of Territorial Savings Bank.

Hope Bancorp retained the Territorial Savings brand for the Hawaii operations as a division of Bank of Hope, preserving the 100+ year Hawaii community-banking brand. The acquisition was Hope Bancorp’s first major out-of-mainland US expansion and made Bank of Hope a meaningful Hawaii market participant alongside the existing Bank of Hawaii / First Hawaiian duopoly.
