Floridian Community Bank was founded and opened for business on March 10, 2003. The bank had been a gleam in the eye of the founding Directors long before September 11, 2001. They were determined to persevere and not allow anything to prevent the bank from becoming reality. They continued with their vision of what a bank that really cares about its customers can truly mean to a community. Some of the most experienced and astute business professionals created a community bank that they can feel proud to own. As fair minded business people, their intent was to create a bank that reflects the unique needs of our business community that they knew so well. By combining the resources, services and technology typically associated with larger banks and with an unqualified commitment to personal service, Floridian Community Bank offers banking solutions designed specifically to help all sizes of businesses, professionals and individuals to grow and prosper.
From an original staff of six, we have grown to thirty very dedicated employees eager to serve your banking needs. Our deposit totals have likewise shown impressive growth from the onset. Floridian Community Bank has consistently produced earnings, increasing the bank's capital base, thus enabling us to handle the banking needs of all sized businesses through participations in the marketplace.
Through the years we expanded our services to correspond with the needs of our customers. We have had concierge courier service and remote deposit-banking from your office that allows us to easily serve the tri-county area to accommodate larger depositors. We will support our community through an Advisory Board consisting of knowledgeable professionals that care about our community and support corporate citizenship and civic involvement. Davie is the educational hub of the tri-county area, presenting the opportunities for businesses to hire highly-skilled people, and for families to enjoy life-long learning experiences. The town's diversified economic base and recent growth combine to encourage a healthy economy. We will achieve long-term commitment to shareholder value through quality asset growth and solid financial returns.
Our corporate offices have expanded to a three story prominent building in the city of Davie that houses our corporate office, loan office operations and holding company. In March 2008, we celebrated our five year anniversary and were successful in opening our second branch in the town of Juno Beach and our third branch in the city of Delray Beach. This allows for fast decisions for our loan customers and enables us to better satisfy the needs of South Florida community. In addition, the Floridian Community Holdings, Inc. has great plans for future profitable subsidiaries that will add value to its shareholders.
In addition to having internet banking, remote capture and lock box services which has been added to our growing list of product offerings, we continue to look for ways to make banking with Floridian Community Bank as convenient for our customers as sitting at their own desk, at home or in the office, through the use of our online banking product. This product allows our customers to gain immediate access to their account information, pay their bills and initiate wire or ACH requests.
If you are currently a customer of our bank, we sincerely thank you for your patronage, and hope you will continue to allow us to serve your banking needs. For those of you who have not yet become our customer, we invite you to be a part of our family and look forward to serving all your financial needs. “Come grow with us”, our mission at Floridian Community Bank is to benefit businesses and individuals in their personal and business growth.
You have my personal assurance that we will do everything in our power to make your banking experience with us a successful and pleasant one.
Sincerely,
David M. Zinn
Chairman of the Board
