About RBB Bancorp
About RBB Bancorp
RBB Bancorp, the holding company for Royal Business Bank, held $4.2 billion in total consolidated assets, $3.3 billion in gross loans, and $3.4 billion in deposits as of December 31, 2025, operating 24 banking offices across California, Nevada, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, and Hawaii predominantly serving Asian-centric business communities. Single-family residential mortgage loans made up 50.0% of the total loan portfolio, up from 48.9% a year earlier, with commercial real estate loans a further 39.3%.
RBB earns revenue primarily from interest on loans and, to a lesser extent, investment securities, supplemented by fee income from lending and deposit services, loan servicing, gains on loan sales, and wealth management. The bank grew through six whole-bank acquisitions between 2011 and 2018 plus a 2022 branch acquisition in Hawaii, and operates as a minority depository institution, a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation designation requiring at least 51% ownership by minority individuals, which the bank says has been historically beneficial for technical assistance and program support. Beyond SFR and CRE lending, RBB originates construction and land development loans (4.7% of the portfolio), commercial and industrial loans (4.2%), and SBA 7(a) and 504 loans (1.7%) as a designated SBA Preferred Lender. Deposits remain concentrated in large relationships typical of a business-focused bank: 80.6% of relationships were $250,000 or below, or qualified as stable under the bank's own criteria, as of December 31, 2025.
Show full overview
RBB's loan book is concentrated in two categories that together make up nearly 90% of total loans: single-family residential mortgages at 50.0% and commercial real estate at 39.3% as of December 31, 2025, with the multi-family residential subset of CRE growing to $745.3 million from $605.5 million a year earlier. That mix ties RBB's credit performance closely to California, New York, and Hawaii housing and commercial-property values rather than to a diversified small-business loan book, even as nonaccrual balances in both categories declined year over year — SFR nonaccruals fell to $2.1 million from $11.5 million, and CRE nonaccruals fell to $8.2 million from $17.1 million.
