Bank account levy's in California have become easier since January 1st, 2013. CCP section 684.115 now requires all depository financial institutions with ten or more California branches to designate one or more centralized locations for accepting service of process for enforcement of judgments and attachments against their customer's deposit accounts.

In accordance with CCP section 684.115 (AB 2364), the following link will give you the designated locations for service of legal process that have been filed with the DBO by financial institutions doing business in California:

 http://www.dbo.ca.gov/Laws_&_Regs/legislation/service_of_legal_process/default.asp

Failure to designate a centralized location for service of process allows the creditor to levy against any branch located in California and that levy is deemed automatically effective as to all branches within the state. Smaller banks, with nine or fewer branch offices, may voluntarily establish a centralized service location.
