In 2025 Ocean Bank reported double-digit growth in assets, deposits, and stockholder’s equity for 2025 versus year-end 2024, with total assets around $7.44 billion, deposits about $6.27 billion, and stockholder’s equity near $697 million; the bank also noted a Tier 1 capital ratio of about 9.7%. This reflects continued expansion and strong capital position.[3][4]

A 2025 FDIC-related/Regulatory action news item mentions Ocean Bank being fined $10.9 million for deficiencies in BSA/AML compliance and related areas, tied to investigations by FinCEN and other agencies, with ongoing monitoring by the Florida OFR.

Ocean Bank is described as Florida-based, serving both personal and business customers since 1982, with ongoing updates about lending activity and growth, including examples of recent financing activity and continued growth as reflected on its official site.[5][10]
