In September 2023, we celebrated our 20th anniversary 
of serving the financial needs of our customers and 
communities that we operate in. 

Sang Young Lee Chairman of the Board

2023 • ANNUAL REPORT  /  02

We are bankers connecting people 
with their dreams.

Dear Shareholders: 

2023 was marked with significant challenges to the banking 

industry  that  included  the  unforeseen  failures  of  three 

high-profile  regional  banks,  the  run-up  of  interest  rates  by 

the Fed to address the high inflation rate, and the geopolitical 

turmoil  in  Ukraine  and  the  Middle  East.    Notwithstanding 

these  challenges,  we  are  proud  of  our  bank’s  resiliency 

and  our  resolve  to  keep  delivering  beyond  our  customers’ 

expectations  and  supporting  the  needs  of  the  communities 

we  serve  as  their  trusted  business  partner.  By  working 

together  as  a  single  unit,  the  PCB  team  accomplished 

numerous achievements in 2023 that we believe pave a path 

for continued progress on our strategic initiatives and provide 

a solid platform from which our bank will be able to navigate 

through the uncertainties in the years ahead:

• New Vision and Mission Statements:  After much deliberation, 

we  unveiled  our  new  Vision  Statement  of  “We  are  bankers 

connecting people with their dreams” and Mission Statements 

“Focusing on partnering with our business clients,” “Cultivating 

and  empowering  our  employees,”  and  “Being  a  responsible 

corporate citizen in building the communities we serve”.

•  20‐year  Anniversary  Celebration:  In  September  2023,  we 

celebrated  our  20th  anniversary  of  serving  the  financial 

needs of our customers and communities that we operate in.
