Atlantic Central Bankers Bank (ACBB) services the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. While community banks generally have advantages over holding company competitors in local knowledge and quality of service, when it comes to matters such as cash letter and sophisticated electronic services, credit card programs, participations, overline loans and technology issues, even a well-managed community bank can find itself at a disadvantage. Bankers banks are the answer. Bankers banks can do everything a major holding company upstream correspondent bank can do, while offering superior service and often more competitive pricing. There is a big difference though; bankers banks don't compete for your customers! Any community bank within the geographic area served by a bankers bank has the right to buy bank stock. Virtually all shareholders do business with their bankers bank, but a community bank does not need to be a shareholder to take advantage of a bankers banks services.

Correspondent banking isn't a sideline for a bankers' bank - it's our only business. And because many customers are also shareholders, we're answerable to them not only as our customers, but also as investors. Superior service and competitive pricing are the result. Moreover, a community bank that works with a bankers' bank is never providing income to, or dealing with, a potential competitor. And the products and services offered are precisely those most desired by community banks, delivered the way you want them.
