Since the opening of our first location at 1315 South Third Street, Jacksonville Beach over twelve years ago, we have grown to four full-service banking offices, serving the Beaches and East Jacksonville, Florida. Our growth and reputation continue to be a source of pride and compare very favorably with our peers. As of December 31, 2009, our assets reached $297 million. Our loan portfolio, consisting of 1,000 loans, was $200 million. Deposits, comprised of 7,055 accounts, totaled $269 million. And, we experienced a growth in assets of 11.08%.
Oceanside Bank is a highly-regarded corporate citizen with a genuine concern for the growth and well-being of our community. Our focus toward development of relationship banking, specializing in real estate and consumer and small business lending and related deposit services, has served us very well since the inception of the bank.
We are proud to be voted the "Beaches Favorite Bank" six years in a row in the Beaches Leader Readers' Poll and one of the "Best Places to Work" three years in a row as recognized in the Jacksonville Business Journal.
We encourage you to visit our banking offices and discover banking the Oceanside Bank way. You will find we are "Your kind of people. Your kind of bank."
