    Why narrow the focus on Californian banks? I would have thought CA is one of the worst places to be looking for a bank. Union Bank of California only gets a 3 star from bankrate.com

    UBOC does not have a large capital markets business which means they did not get heavily into derivatives or other messy products. They do not make markets in thousands of instruments at significant liquidity levels so I don’t believe they have the exposure, either propietary or counterparty.

    They are primarily a wholesale and retail banking institituion, with a profitable trust and treasury business as far as I know. They have been an old school bank and continue to be fairly conservative as far as I know.

    I would think they are a fine place to park your money compared to some of the other banks mentioned here.

    I agree, UBOC is solid. Zero mortgage exposure. I moved all of my money out of Washington Mutual when their stock sunk below $5 from over $40 just a year ago. Wamu will be Wamu Federal within a year, you can count on it.
