Just in time for the 100th anniversary of Miami Beach’s incorporation as a city, Bank of the Ozarks opened a new office for its customers.
The opening took place on May 1st coinciding with Miami Beach’s centennial of its second incorporation, this time as a city, on May 1st 1917. A ribbon cutting ceremony, in conjunction with the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce, is scheduled for May 23rd at 9:00 am.
The bank’s Miami Beach office is in a new location at 1225 20th Street but customers will recognize some familiar faces. Alan Randolph, President of Florida for Bank of the Ozarks, is a past chairman of the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, Derek LaBrosse, Assistant Vice President and Branch Manager, is a Miami Beach native who attended North Beach Elementary and whose Mother owned a business on Miami Beach for 18 years.
The new bank office has more than 2300 square feet of space and features safe deposit boxes, night depository, and an ATM. Hours of operation are 9:00 am – 5:00 pm, Monday-Friday. The office phone number is (305) 763 -8505. Onsite parking will be available to customers while conducting bank business.
Bank of the Ozarks is one of the top 60 banks in the US based on asset size, and operates 250 offices in nine states. The new Miami Beach office is the bank’s 44th location in Florida. Bank of the Ozarks has been recognized as the top performing bank in the United States based on financial performance seven years in a row—2011 through 2017.
Bank of the Ozarks was founded in 1903 as a small community bank in Arkansas. While the company has grown over the years, it maintains that community feel in all of its branch offices. That’s part of the bank’s DNA—so much so that Chairman and CEO George Gleason was named Community Banker of the Year in 2010 by the American Banker magazine.
The bank is built on commitments to excellence, fair dealing, and exceptional customer service. Employees in the local branches take pride in knowing their customers. They know how important it is for people to have a relationship with a banker who is trustworthy and has the expertise to help customers reach their financial goals.
“The entrepreneurial spirit is fundamental to Bank of the Ozarks,” Randolph says. “Our bankers understand what it takes to create business solutions tailored to a client’s needs. We believe the most important part of our job is getting to know our clients and understanding their needs. We believe in treating each client the same way we would want to be treated.”
