Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
BayCom Corp is a bank holding company headquartered in Walnut Creek, California, operating primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary, United Business Bank. The company operates in the commercial banking industry, focusing on relationship-driven banking services for businesses, professionals, and individuals. Its activities are regulated under U.S. federal and state banking laws and reported through filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The company’s primary revenue drivers are commercial and industrial lending, commercial real estate lending, construction loans, and a range of deposit products. BayCom Corp has positioned itself as a regional business bank emphasizing local decision-making, conservative credit practices, and long-term customer relationships. The company was formed in 2010 as a holding company for United Business Bank, which itself traces its origins to 1974, and has expanded primarily through organic growth and selective acquisitions of community banks in the western United States.
Business Operations
BayCom Corp conducts substantially all of its business through United Business Bank, which represents the company’s sole reportable operating segment. Revenue is generated primarily through net interest income from loans and investment securities, supplemented by non-interest income such as service charges, loan fees, and treasury management services. The bank provides commercial banking services, including business checking and savings accounts, cash management, commercial loans, owner-occupied real estate loans, and SBA-related lending.
Operations are concentrated in the western U.S., with no material international banking activities reported in public filings. The company controls its core banking infrastructure internally and does not rely on fintech platforms for primary service delivery. Growth has been supported by acquired bank branches and loan portfolios from prior community bank transactions, which have been fully integrated into United Business Bank. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding any material joint ventures or non-bank operating subsidiaries beyond traditional banking functions.
Strategic Position & Investments
BayCom Corp’s strategic direction emphasizes disciplined loan growth, prudent credit underwriting, and expansion within attractive regional markets through both organic branch growth and acquisitions. Historically, the company has completed multiple community bank acquisitions, using them to expand its footprint while maintaining consistent operating and credit standards. These transactions have been funded through a combination of capital raises and retained earnings, as disclosed in SEC filings.
The company does not report material investments in non-banking businesses, venture capital, or emerging financial technologies. Instead, its strategic investments are concentrated in loan portfolio expansion, branch infrastructure, and technology systems that support core banking operations. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding involvement in emerging sectors beyond conventional commercial banking and treasury management services.
Geographic Footprint
BayCom Corp operates primarily in the Western United States, with a strong presence in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. Its headquarters are located in Walnut Creek, California, and its branch network is focused on metropolitan and regional business centers within these states.
The company does not maintain international branches or foreign banking subsidiaries. Its geographic strategy emphasizes regional density in business-friendly markets rather than national or global expansion. All reported revenues and assets are derived from U.S.-based operations, with market influence concentrated at the regional community banking level.

BayCom Corp is led by an executive team with extensive experience in community and regional banking. Leadership emphasizes conservative risk management, regulatory compliance, and long-term shareholder value through stable earnings and disciplined growth.
