Banking, five-star style
by Pamela Corante-Hansen

T his is not your father’s employee training program: A day trip to

a five-star hotel to experience world-class customer relations.
Lunch at Chez Mélange for a taste of high-end service. A field trip
to Nordstrom, the Holy Grail of the Excellent Customer Experience.
But before new Malaga Bank employees get too comfortable in the
Four Seasons hotel lobby, they are whisked off to a bargain motel
chain. After the foie gras has settled, the next stop is the other end
of the dining spectrum—a local franchise of a national coffee shop.
And before they can hand their Amex to a Nordstrom sales associate,
they’re in a mile-long line at a big box retailer.
This experiential exercise in contrasts, according to Malaga Bank
president and CEO Randy Bowers, is how his employees are able
to deliver top-notch service to their patrons, who also happen to Malaga Bank’s new Torrance Branch located at 25700 Crenshaw Blvd.

here at Malaga Cove Plaza. It’s the essence of Palos Verdes, with the
fountain and the 1920s architecture. In the 90s the bank opened its
second branch on the hill, after which we opened a loan center, also
in Rolling Hills Estates. Next came the Torrance office, for which we
subsequently built a new building and then opened our branch in
San Pedro. Our most recent expansion involved relocating our loan
center to Hawthorne Boulevard in Torrance.

On the subject of loans, how do you see the housing market?

Struggling. We track a lot of data and we’ve been fortunate in our lo-
cal markets. We haven’t seen the depreciation the rest of California
is seeing. Some areas have depreciated more than 50 percent. Here,
it’s closer to 25 or 30 percent. Being a more affluent community, our
prices have held up better, but the economy is facing serious difficul-
ties and the federal government is paddling as fast as it can to keep it
moving forward. A change in political parties probably will not provide
a solution to issues that must be dealt with, because it’s really more
about society. There are some fundamental problems that need to be
addressed, namely, we’ve been living in excess far too long.
Some realtors say that buyers and sellers are both being unrealis-
tic. There seems to be a disconnect.
It’s getting better, but the sellers don’t want to acknowledge that
prices are going down, and buyers are convinced they’re coming
down lower. Where you see a lot of activity is with foreclosures,
because once the lender gets the property back, they want to sell it—
they have to. But there’s still a standoff between what the seller and
the buyer think.
With interest rates at an all-time low, how do you think the
economy can recover?
Malaga Bank, Rolling Hills Estates branch
This is a huge issue for us. The Federal Reserve has been working on
bringing down long-term rates by injecting money into the system.
This is called quantitative easing. There is some anticipation they’ll
announce additional quantitative easing in early November, which
will bring long-term rates down, too. The reason they’re doing it is to
keep us from slipping back into a recession again. It’s a mixed bag
because it has the potential, if not the certainty, of causing inflation
down the road, but it may be the lesser of evils.
It seems like this would cause challenges in running a business
and making financial decisions.
There were times when it was relatively easy, but now it’s a huge
challenge with the volatility. There’s a tremendous amount of un-
certainty for a financial institution, as well. How do you operate a
business when you don’t know what’s coming next? Our strategy is
to hunker down and be cautious until the smoke clears and we can
get a sense for how this will turn out. The consumer is very cautious,
too, and that’s not good for the economy. On the flip side, the things
that have been done were distasteful but necessary to avoid a greater
evil. There’s no easy solution. It’s a painful process because there’s a
tendency to resist dealing with anything that’s unpleasant.

How does Malaga Bank plan on riding out the economic instability?
We’re continuing to create products that are appropriate for the
market we serve. Many of our loan customers are real estate inves-
tors. Their situation is a little more complex, and we can handle their
needs better than a one-size-fits-all product. Eventually, we’d like
to branch out into the beach communities. I think our model would
work well there—it’s all about how the customer is treated.
