Howard Bank Renews Lease on Home Office

Howard Bank, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, has renewed its lease on its headquarters in Ellicott City, according to President & CEO Mary Ann Scully.

From its founding in August of 2004, the bank has grown to include eight full service branches and regional offices in Annapolis and Towson, MD, and mortgage operations throughout the Central Maryland area.

The most dramatic expansion has occurred in just over a year, with branch openings in Towson, Bel Air and Aberdeen, as well as the addition of a regional office in Annapolis and new mortgage offices in Columbia and Timonium. Howard Bank recently acquired the NBRS Financial Bank branch in Havre de Grace.

“We are proud of Howard Bank’s tremendous growth during its first decade,” Scully said, “but we will always call Howard County ‘home.’ We have signed a lease for another 10 years at the headquarters on Snowden River Parkway in Ellicott City where we started.”

Howard Bank takes a high touch “relationship banking” approach, emphasizing personal contact and proactive service for businesses, professionals and individuals in the Greater Baltimore Area. For more information, visit www.howardbank.com.
