Kitsap Bank is pleased to announce its partnership with Commonwealth Financial Network, the nation’s largest privately-held Registered Investment Advisor- Independent Broker/Dealer. Commonwealth was selected as the new broker/dealer, due to their long history of sound business practices, highly personalized service, and commitment to independence--a philosophy that matches the Bank’s own approach to serving clients.

At the same time, Kitsap Bank has also changed the name of its investment group from Olympic Investment Center to Kitsap Investment Services.  While customers will work with the same great team of investment advisors they know and trust, modifications have been made to the logo, as well as the look of the products, services and tools used in investment transactions.

 

“This is the beginning of a great new relationship,” stated Steve Politakis, Chief Executive Officer.  “Commonwealth’s advanced technology and additional resources will strengthen our ability to serve our clients and help to further improve upon the level of expert guidance they have come to expect.”

 

Established August 8, 1908, Kitsap Bank is headquartered in Port Orchard, WA, operating 21 locations throughout Western Washington.  With over $1 billion in assets, the Bank provides a full range of financial services to commercial and individual clients.  Kitsap Bank has been named a Preferred Lender by the U.S. Small Business Administration, and a Corporate Philanthropist by the Puget Sound Business Journal.  Kitsap Bank is ranked the 12^th largest bank based in the State of Washington and is the sixth largest women-owned business, according to the Puget Sound Business Journal.  The Bank was named Family-Owned Business of the Year in 2015 by Seattle Business magazine and has a 5 Star rating from BauerFinancial Inc.
