The bank was first created by a group of local businessmen and individuals who were interested in providing specialized financial services to the Chinese community. The City of Industry, California is an area with higher concentration of factories, and the local Chinese population is greatly involved in production. As a result, the bank provides financial services to small and mid-sized businesses like other overseas Chinese banks in the United States, but the bank originally focused on those in the manufacturing industry.
In October 2022, the Taiwan-based Taichung Bank announced plans to acquire the American Continental Bank.[1]
