Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. – Anchor Bank, a Palm Beach Gardens-based community bank, has announced that it has entered into a merger agreement with Hallandale Beach-based Home Federal Bank of Hollywood. The transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including the receipt of shareholder and regulatory approvals. Upon the closing, Home Federal Bank of Hollywood’s one location at 900 North Federal Highway in Hallandale Beach will be rebranded as Anchor Bank.
“This is an exciting step for Anchor Bank as it allows us to continue developing our 1800-day Strategic Plan, “Factor 10.” The merger with Home Federal accelerates Anchor’s landing in Broward and strengthens its presence in the three counties, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and now Broward” said Nelson Hinojosa, CEO of Anchor Bank. “It is an excellent fit since there is no overlap of market areas and banking centers.”
