History

Company headquarters in Portland

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 business who wanted to create a means for their employees to cash their payroll checks. The bank opened with capital of $50,000 and surplus and reserves of $25,000.[5] The bank’s first savings account was opened by Pete Duchene, a local business agent. D.B. “Tex” Ritter and his wife Nadine opened the first commercial account for their South Umpqua Trucking Company.[6]

In 2002, Umpqua increased its number of branches to 63 by acquiring Centennial Bancorp of Eugene Oregon for $214 million.[7] 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.[8] 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.[9] 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.[10] The next month, Umpqua acquired the banking operations of Rainier Pacific Bank in a purchase agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.[11]

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.[12] The deal fell through, however, when Umpqua was outbid, though American Perspective paid Umpqua a $1.6 million fee to terminate the deal.[13] Umpqua had been expanding into the San Francisco Bay Area,[4] and closed a $24.9 million deal to buy Bay area-based Circle Bancorp in November 2012.[14]

In September 2013, Umpqua announced it would buy Sterling Financial Corporation, parent of Sterling Bank, the second largest bank in Washington.[15] The $2 billion deal closed in April 2014 and increased the number of bank branches to 394 and increase assets to $22 billion.[15]

Current CEO and President of Umpqua Holdings Corp, Raymond Davis, took over the local 40-person South Umpqua Bank in 1994. Davis became CEO and President of Umpqua Holdings in 1999.[16] In 2007, Davis authored a book titled Leading for Growth: How Umpqua Bank Got Cool and Created a Culture of Greatness.[17] Cort O’Haver became President in April 2016, with Davis retaining the role of CEO. Davis plans to step down as CEO in January 2017. O’Haver will take over as CEO at that point while Davis will become executive chair of the bank's board and will continue to oversee Pivotus Ventures Inc.[18]
