OptimumBank was founded
November, 2000 by a
group of local Broward County businessmen led by Albert Finch
and Richard Browdy. They decided to reverse the trend of out of state
mega-banks and give the area a true community bank. In the spirit of a
"true" community bank, the directors gave local investors, both
big and small, a chance to own a piece of the new bank.
The bank is initially focusing on
traditional in-person banking with business and consumers residing in
South Florida. Our customers
found a new bank that isn't charging the exorbitant fees they were
experiencing at the larger financial institutions, a bank having unmatched expertise
in residential and commercial real estate lending.
As local banks are
becoming rarer and rarer in South Florida, OptimumBank's opening has already proven to be both timely and opportune. It is the
belief of the investors, directors, and employees that
a combination Internet and traditional community bank is the "optimum"
way to bank.
