Welcome.

Thanks for visiting to learn more about AmericasBank - our history, our mission, our people, and our philosophy.

AmericasBank was formed in 1996 by group of business people seeking to fill the void left by the mergers and acquisitions that had rocked Baltimore's banking industry. While several venerable local institutions remain, many of Baltimore's largest have been merged out of existence, forever severing the strong ties that existed between those banks and their customers.

AmericasBank was founded on the premise that bigger is not better for everyone. The efficiencies and convenience of today’s megabanks are typically outweighed by the frustrations of dealing with these large bureaucratic and impersonal corporations. The personal service and relationship banking advertised by these megabanks can rarely be found in their branches or customer service operations.

Our board of directors, managers, and employees believe that as a bank grows larger, its relationship with its customers usually grows weaker. We also believe that personalized, customized and simplified solutions come from listening and understanding. So instead of trying to be all things to all people, we have chosen to focus on the customers we can serve best.

At AmericasBank, our focus is on local businesses and more specifically, businesses that do not have large borrowing needs. Our market research shows that community businesses have historically been under-served by the megabanks. The investment of time and resources required to serve this market simply does not fit into the megabanks’ bottom line. Leaving them ill-equipped to sit down and share the small business customer’s aspirations, challenges, and even nightmares, much less provide solutions.

While AmericasBank gives special attention to the overlooked small business market, we have by no means abandoned the consumer market. We realize that technology has successfully replaced much of the personal interaction in retail banking. Yet AmericasBank is more than happy to provide personalized, customized and simplified banking to anyone who values human interaction and a personal relationship with their bankers.

At AmericasBank, we’re creating a place where pride, integrity, and experience come together to save you time and money. So at the end of the day, you can rest assured that your bank and banker are on your side in these increasingly competitive and uncertain financial times.

Sincerely,

Mark H. Anders
President/CEO

Business is complex.
Banking shouldn't be.

Paperwork is the enemy.

Bureaucracy costs time. Time is money.

Relationships matter.

Waiting is unacceptable.

Decisions needed.
Decision-makers wanted.
