The bank was founded in 1954 by Alfred S. Hart.[2][5][6] He hired Benjamin N. Maltz as the first Chairman of the Board.[5] Its offices were in Beverly Hills at 400 North Roxbury Drive[6] until 2004 when its headquarters were relocated to Arco Plaza (later City National Plaza) in Los Angeles.[7]


In 1963, when Frank Sinatra's son was kidnapped, the bank put up the $240,000 demanded as ransom money.[2] In 1970, its stock began trading over the counter.[6]

In 2002, City National opened an office in New York City to serve its California-based clientele who do business on both coasts, as well as prospective clients in Manhattan. In that decade, it continued to acquire more banks: Convergent Capital Management, LLC (2003), Business Bank of Nevada (2006), Convergent Wealth Advisors (2007), Lee Munder Capital Group (2009), Imperial Capital Bank (2009).[4]
