Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce Names Florida Community Bank a 2018 R.E.A.L. Awards Finalist

Florida Community Bank (FCB) (NYSE: FCB) is proud to announce that it has been selected by the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce as a 2018 R.E.A.L. Awards finalist in the category of Banking and Finance. The Greater Miami Chamber’s R.E.A.L. Awards honor South Florida’s real estate achievers and leaders, including organizations in the industry and related professionals who have reached a measure of success in their respective fields, while also demonstrating community leadership.
