SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 26, 2013) - Bridge Capital Holdings (
"I am very proud that Bridge Bank has been recognized as a Super Premier Performing Bank for the sixth time by The Findley Reports, a well respected industry trade company," said Daniel P. Myers, president and chief executive officer of Bridge Bank and Bridge Capital Holdings. "Our talented banking team, combined with our disciplined approach to executing our strategy, along with our truly unique brand experience, is the driver behind our continued success in the markets we serve and the reason for our repeated achievement of this designation."
The Findley Reports focuses on four financial components: growth, return on beginning equity, net operating income as a percentage of average assets and loan losses as a percentage of gross loans. The Super Premier Performing Bank designation requires a bank to meet all four criteria at a high level of performance.
"The Findleys have been long time admirers of Bridge Bank and what they have accomplished since their start in 2001," stated Gary Steven Findley, editor of The Findley Reports. "They are a true business bank that has connected well with the business customer as well as has delivered solid results for their shareholders."
