Advance Bank

A Beacon of Financial Strength and Stability

Advance Bank, an institution that left an indelible mark on the city of Baltimore, thrived from 1957 to 2013. The bank’s core values were rooted in empowering the local community, fostering economic growth, and promoting financial literacy.

Throughout its 56-year tenure, Advance Bank was more than a financial institution – it was a partner, advisor, and steadfast supporter of Baltimore’s residents. Its influence extended far beyond the walls of its 7 E Redwood St address, reaching into the lives and businesses of the community it served.

The Beginning of a Legacy

The year 1957 marked the birth of Advance Bank, an institution that would evolve into an essential part of Baltimore’s economic infrastructure. Its founders envisioned a bank that would address the specific needs of the local community, a goal it ardently pursued over the years.

Advance Bank served as a catalyst for financial growth, encouraging local entrepreneurs and nurturing their dreams. It did not just provide financial support; it stood by businesses through ups and downs, ensuring that the economic pulse of Baltimore never waned.

Championing the Community

Aside from its contributions to the economic landscape, Advance Bank became known for its community involvement. The bank actively participated in and sponsored numerous local events, further cementing its ties with Baltimore’s residents. It also launched financial literacy initiatives, empowering community members to take charge of their financial futures.

Services that Exceeded Expectations

From personal banking to business solutions, Advance Bank was relentless in its pursuit of providing top-notch services to its customers. The bank’s customer-centric approach led to the development of services that aligned perfectly with the diverse needs of the Baltimore community.

A Farewell to a Trusted Ally

In 2013, Advance Bank voluntarily closed its doors. While this marked the end of a chapter, the bank’s contributions to Baltimore continue to resonate. The financial stability it fostered and the community ties it built have shaped Baltimore into the vibrant, resilient city it is today.
