Newport, OR – Oregon Coast Bank (OCB) is proud to announce the promotion of Sarah Jincks to Branch Manager and Assistant Vice President at its Newport location.

A seventh-generation Oregonian and long-time Newport resident, Jincks joined OCB in 2018 after eight years managing boutique coastal inns. In 2025, she became one of the Bank’s first-ever Assistant Branch Managers and now, just six months later, she has earned another step forward.

As Branch Manager, Jincks takes on expanded responsibilities including employee management, building operations, community donations coordination, and an introduction to the loan process. Her background managing hotel staff, schedules, and day-to-day operations gave her an early foundation in leadership, one she has built on steadily at every stage of her OCB career.

For Jincks, the role is about more than operations. She is excited to begin speaking to local students through a nonprofit. Jincks looks forward to helping young people understand banking and financial basics.

When she’s not at the branch, she’s on the sidelines cheering on her son through football, basketball, and baseball seasons. These experiences remind her why community and connection matter so much. It’s that same spirit she plans to bring to the branch every day, deepening relationships and ensuring OCB remains a welcoming, familiar place for everyone who walks through the door.

Oregon Coast Bank is the only bank built by and for people on the coast. It was founded when 115 coastal families pooled their resources to establish a locally owned and operated bank; its assets now exceed $400 million. For decades, OCB has been dedicated to keeping dollars local and helping coastal businesses thrive.
