We are all about personalized service and helping our community with the banking products they need.” Rapp has been in banking for over 16 years and with the Bank of Stockton Napa branch since 2015. “I enjoy everything about working here,” he said. “The staff here are like family and the city of Napa is a tight knit community. I enjoy bringing our banking brand to the customers and businesses of Napa.”
