Bank of the West Increases Company-Wide Minimum Wage to $15

San Francisco, CA

  • Minimum wage increase reflects company’s long-term commitment to team members’ growth and success

Today Bank of the West announced it will increase the company’s minimum wage across the business to $15 per hour. The change will impact one-quarter of hourly team members, primarily in the Bank’s branches and call centers.

The permanent increase will take effect on April 1 and is part of our long-standing commitment to reward our team members and attract the industry’s best talent. At more than double the federal minimum wage, the Bank’s new minimum wage is the result of a thorough internal review of the Bank’s business stemming from the federal tax reform recently completed by the U.S. Congress.

“We have amazing people at Bank of the West. I am excited this minimum wage increase reaffirms our commitment to attract and retain the best people,” said Nandita Bakhshi, CEO of Bank of the West.
