OCEAN CITY
HOME BANK
I
n 1887, Ocean City Home Bank was founded to serve the financial needs of families, business owners
and visitors in the new seaside resort known as Ocean City. The community bank’s philosophy of
offering superior banking products and exemplary personal service has allowed it to thrive for 125
years, withstanding two World Wars, the Great Depression, and a range of economic highs and lows.
The bank has witnessed moments of great financial and historical significance, including the enactment of
the Federal Reserve Act, as well as the establishment of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Since its founding, Ocean City Home Bank has been dedicated not only to providing exceptional banking
products and exemplary personal service, but also to supporting customers, business associates and the
community with financial support and volunteer efforts. From serving as the title sponsor of a concert
enjoyed by hundreds of families to awarding a scholarship that will help one deserving student continue his
or her education, Ocean City Home Bank actively seeks opportunities to offer improvement, enrichment
and assistance where it is needed most.
From its beginning as the bank by the sea, Ocean City Home Bank has grown to a publicly owned financial
institution with twelve branches and 200 employees. Despite the changes of the past twelve decades, the
economic upheaval of recent years, and the tremendous growth of this community bank, one fact is just as
true today as it was in 1887: Ocean City Home Bank is the bank people trust.
