Community Bank of Florida

The idea of Community Bank began in February 1972. Jim McDonald, Jerry Case and Marlow Jacobsen decided to form a bank “owned and operated by the people of the community,” a bank that would understand the philosophy of the small businessman or farmer trying to borrow money to get started.On October 9, 1973, the Charter was presented , the ribbon was cut, and we were officially Community Bank of Homestead. Two years later, the ribbon was cut on the new 16,000 square foot main office building, and Speedie was proudly introduced as the first ATM in the Homestead Area.In 1998 Community Bank celebrated its 25th Anniversary, and one year later became Community Bank of Florida to reflect expansion throughout the state of Florida. Two new offices opened in the Florida Keys, Key Largo and Tavernier and a Keys Regional Board was formed. This same year also saw the opening of Financial Centers in Central Florida.Today Community Bank of Florida has 12 offices, from Tavernier to Lakeland. We are the #1 Bank in the South Dade Market, with more locations, more ATMs, more drive ins, more hours and the latest in technology. Our Directors, Officers and Employees remain as dedicated today as they were in 1973 to “Exceeding the Expectations"​ of our customers.Learn more about us by visiting our FaceBook at: http://www.facebook.com/CommunityBankFL or by visiting our blog: http://blog.communitybankfl.com/ or our YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/user/CommunityBankFL
