Shore United Bank’s President and CEO, Scott Beatty, Jr., has been named to the Daily Record’s Power 30 for the year 2020. Introduced in June, this list showcases the top 30 leaders in Maryland’s banking and financial services. The COVID-19 pandemic presented the banking industry with the incredible challenge to do its part in safeguarding the nation’s economy. This includes businesses in need of financing to stay open and make payroll, as well as individual customers in need of assistance. “Our execution of the federal Payroll Protection Program was our biggest success,” Beatty says. “Our staff literally worked every weekend, all day, and all night to make sure our customers got the support they so desperately needed. Through the two rounds of the program Shore United Bank processed 2,454 loans totaling $196 million. We know this saved many businesses from failure.” Shore United Bank has recently announced it has entered a definitive agreement with Anne Arundel County’s Severn Bank, a merger demonstrating the bank’s growing potential.
