It's been nearly 18 months since Chace Bank first broke ground in Moraga. The new location at 1299 School Street in the Moraga Shopping Center had a soft opening July 7 due to the current landscape involving coronavirus restrictions.

Branch Manager Cora Mopera stated, "I'm glad to have a footprint in the Moraga community." Even without much if any fanfare, Mopera was excited to welcome the first trickle of current customers eager to transfer to this branch from other locations or potential new clients.

With roots tracing back to 1799, Chase operates as a leading national bank in the United States. The banking chain has more than 5,500 branches and 17,000 ATMs across the U.S.

Chase Bank offers a wide range of consumer and commercial banking services, such as checking and savings accounts, lending guidance and investment services. Additionally, CHASE offers credit cards, mortgage offices and mobile banking.

Each year, Chase earns more than $58 billion in sales and is considered a massive company in the banking industry employing over 240,000 associates nationwide while operating as a subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase, a publicly held company.
