"We are extremely pleased to be the 38th member bank and the only savings bank with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco," said Allan Kitagawa, chairman, CEO, and president, in a statement. "As the newest member of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, we will continue to provide the same quality of service to our customers that we have in the past."
