Umpqua Holdings Corporation, d.b.a. Umpqua Bank, is a financial holding company based in downtown Portland, Oregon, United States. Headquarters are in the Umpqua Bank Plaza, formerly the headquarters of the Benj. Franklin Savings and Loan. The firm has two principal operating subsidiaries, Umpqua Bank (the Bank), and Umpqua Investments, formerly Strand, Atkinson, Williams and York (Investments). The company's three main operating segments are community banking, mortgage banking, and retail brokerage. The bank provides a range of banking, mortgage banking and other financial services to corporate, institutional and individual customers. Total loans outstanding, at December 31, 2006, were US$5.3 billion, and total deposits were US$5.8 billion.〔()〕 As of 2011, Umpqua Bank was the largest Oregon-based bank, and had branches in Oregon, Washington, California, and Nevada. ==History== South Umpqua State Bank was formed in 1953 in Canyonville, Oregon, with six employees. It was started by a group of people working in the timber-logging business who wanted to create a means for their loggers to cash their payroll checks. The bank acquired Centennial Bancorp of Eugene, Oregon, in 2002 for $214 million. With that deal, Umpqua increased the number of branches to 63.〔 On January 16, 2009, Umpqua agreed to assume the deposits of Vancouver, Washington-based Bank of Clark County after the latter bank was seized by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Umpqua agreed to assume the deposits of Seattle, Washington-based Evergreen Bank in January 2010 after the latter was closed by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was appointed receiver. A month later the company agreed to take over the deposits of Tacoma, Washington-based Rainier Pacific Bank, after it was seized by the FDIC. The next month, Umpqua acquired the banking operations of Rainier Pacific Bank in a purchase agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Umpqua Bank acquires Rainier Pacific Bank ) 〕 Umpqua continued with acquisitions in 2012 when they attempted to buy California based American Perspective Bank for $44.7 million, which would have added two branches to Umpqua's then 196 branches. The deal fell through, however, when Umpqua was outbid, though American Perspective paid Umpqua a $1.6 million fee to terminate the deal. Umpqua had been expanding into the San Francisco Bay Area,〔 and closed a $24.9 million deal to buy Bay area-based Circle Bancorp in November 2012. In September 2013, it announced it would buy Sterling Financial Corporation, parent of Sterling Bank, the second largest bank in Washington. The $2 billion deal closed in April 2014 and increased the number of bank branches to 394 and increase assets to $22 billion.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Umpqua Holdings Corporation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
