East West Bank

East West Bank is a commercial bank headquartered in Pasadena, CA, serving businesses across California and nationally. As an SBA Preferred Lender, it can offer faster SBA loan processing than non-preferred lenders — a practical advantage if you're pursuing that route. Its financing lineup covers equipment finance, construction finance, commercial real estate, lines of credit, and term loans. A standout differentiator is its international banking capability, making it a strong fit for importers, exporters, or businesses with U.S.-Asia trade activity. Rates and minimum qualifications aren't published publicly, so expect to start with a direct conversation.
