Commercial Bank
City National Bank of Florida was born out of a handshake in 1926. Harvard-trained entrepreneur Baron de Hirsch Meyer met Leonard Abess, an accountant from Providence, Rhode Island, who had come to Miami. From the moment they met, their partnership focused on helping small businesses thrive by making loans to companies that otherwise would not have access to credit. Nearly a decade after their first encounter, the partners opened the pre-cursor to City National Bank, North Shore Bank, in 1946. The bank was located on 71st Street in North Miami Beach. City National Bank of Florida established various banks under the City National Bank name. When federal regulations allowed, the locations were all merged into one City National Bank of Florida name. Throughout the next 75 years, City National Bank of Florida expanded into Broward and Palm Beach counties, as well as the Orlando and Winter Park communities, and Tampa, building a business and a reputation for practical, prudent banking and a best-in-class client experience. City National Bank of Florida continues to grow and evolve, but its foundation remains the same.
