NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- City National Bank, America's Premier Private and Business BankSM, announced today that it has hired two experienced wealth advisors to better meet the financial needs of clients in New York City and the surrounding area.

Patricia Chambers and Valerie Groh have joined City National as senior vice presidents and senior private bankers with the bank's New York Private Client Services team. They are responsible for providing comprehensive wealth management strategies and private banking solutions to high-net-worth individuals and their families. Prior to joining City National, Chambers served as a senior vice president and wealth advisor with Wells Fargo, and Groh served as a senior vice president and senior private banker with Wells Fargo.

City National Bank's merger with Royal Bank of Canada, which closed on November 2, will lead to significant growth opportunities throughout the bank, specifically in the Manhattan and tri-state areas."

City National entered New York in 2002 primarily to serve entertainment clients and has grown to serve wealthy families, nonprofits and professional services firms throughout the region.
