The combined company is said to have total assets of nearly $6.1bn.
However, First National Bank branches will continue to operate under their original name until the operating systems are converted, expected to be completed in the third week of this month.
During this process, all First National Bank banking centres with their client relationships and accounts will be converted to Tri Counties Bank.
The acquisition, announced in December last year, strengthens Tri Counties Bank’s footprint throughout Northern California.
