Our
headquarters was originally
located in a small trailer
on the corner of LeJeune Road
and Northwest 7th Street
in Miami-Dade County
Ocean
Bank was founded in 1982 by a group of successful
entrepreneurs and with just 14 employees.
In 1983 we built and moved into our
current headquarters location, which is where
the trailer once stood. Ocean Bank's founders
shared a common financial vision and a true
dedication to making an impact in South Florida's
future.
Through the years, the idea behind the establishment
of Ocean Bank has remained the same. We have preserved a very special personal relationship
with our clients and this practice has proven
to be greatly successful. We believe in building
relationships that will make a difference
in our community. Today, Ocean Bank is the
largest privately-owned commercial bank headquartered
in Florida, with
21 branches throughout Miami-Dade and Broward
counties.
Ocean Bank's fundamental principles of offering
exceptional customer service and quality financial
products has propelled us to become a leader
in the local banking industry. Since our inception,
Ocean Bank has been strongly committed to
serving the needs of our customers, employees
and local community. As a result, the
loyalty to this basic corporate principle
has contributed to creating much wealth and
prosperity in South Florida.
By providing capital that has helped create
new products, services, and jobs, Ocean Bank
has invested in the future of South Florida.
We have made
a substantial contribution to the development
of our community by financing many of the
most important real estate projects in this
area, as well as granting numerous loans to
local businesses. Furthermore, Ocean Bank
has been the most active Small Business Administration
(SBA) 504 lender in Miami-Dade County since
1995.
Ocean Bank starts by making a difference at
"home," by continuously expanding
our employees' career growth and personal
development opportunities. The Ocean Bank
family of employees enjoys an attractive benefits
package, excellent educational programs and
in-house training sessions. Ocean Bank supports
the dreams and aspirations of those who live,
work and play in South Florida.
