History

The bank was established in 1982. Originally it was founded to serve the Korean American community in Los Angeles.[2]

The bank was founded by George S. Chey,[3] who served as Chairman of the Board for 10 years after its startup.

In 1987, the Hanmi Bank conducted its IPO and is listed on Nasdaq.[citation needed]

The bank bought the First Global Bank and the Pacific Union Bank and the Chun Ha Insurance Agency.[when?] In 2001, the company listed on Nasdaq. Subsequently, the bank expanded to include insurance and wealth management services.[citation needed]

In 2014, it acquired United Central Bank.[4]

In 2015, it dropped its bid to acquire the larger BBCN Bancorp, paving the way for BBCN to merge with another Koreatown rival, Wilshire Bancorp, as Bank of Hope.[5]
