Shore Bancshares, Inc., the holding company of Shore United Bank, and Severn Bancorp, the holding company of Severn Savings Bank, FSB, announced today that the merger of Severn Bank into Shore United Bank was consummated. Prior to the consummation of the merger, Shore United Bank completed its conversion to a national banking association, Shore United Bank, N.A.
Pursuant to the merger, the seven Severn Bank branches in Anne Arundel County will continue to largely operate under the Severn Bank name until February 22, 2022.

Lloyd L. “Scott” Beatty, President and Chief Executive Officer of Shore Bancshares, Inc., commented, “The addition of Severn to our organization is very exciting. We will now have a Anne Arundel County as part of our community, expanding our footprint west of the Chesapeake Bay.”
