Builds Relationships In A Private Club Environment
Paradise Bank was established right here in Boca Raton in 2005 – a dream come true for our management team, which has been together running banks in this town for more than 30 years.
“We’ve seen many banks come and go in Boca Raton over the decades, but this has always been our home,” says Ward Kellogg, Chairman and CEO.
“The long tenure and cohesiveness of our management team means we know the market, we know our customers and they know us. Banking has always been a people business, and that’s where we excel,” says Bill Burke, President and Vice Chairman.
Paradise Bank offers an experience unmatched in the world of banking. You are greeted as a member of their family with warm smiles and extraordinary levels of service. The community bank has a club-type atmosphere in a large, luxurious private-banking facility in Boca Raton. Two branch offices in Fort Lauderdale and Delray Beach further enhance their service capabilities. Clients enter the branches by appointment and can enjoy free ice cream, coffee and gourmet treats before sitting down with a teller.
Dave Englert, Chief Business Development Officer, adds: “We have been financing our customers’ businesses and real estate projects, as well as meeting their personal needs, for many years. Paradise Bank has become a very strong bank with a plan to stay small and provide great customer service.”
According to Dennis Gavin, Chief Credit Officer: “We sit down with our clients to customize products in order to meet the requirements of each individual person.”
Paradise Bank is also a top producer in Florida of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.
In addition to the four executives, the Board of Directors comprises local business leaders, including David Dickenson, Howard Goldsmith, Allen McGee, Thomas McMurrain, Kevin Sacket, G. Robert Toney and Lisa Wheeler.
“We have the capital to meet the needs of most businesses, state-of-the-art technology and veteran bankers who genuinely enjoy helping our customers,” says Burke. “We welcome everyone in our community to consider banking in Paradise!”
Paradise Bank is located at 2420 N. Federal Highway, Boca Raton and 1351 N. Federal Highway, Delray Beach. For more information, call 561-392-5444 or visit paradisebank.com.
