EagleBank is a community bank headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, with assets of more than $10 billion, with operations in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. EagleBank conducts full service commercial banking through small footprint of 20 branches in Montgomery County, Maryland; Washington, D.C.; and Northern Virginia. EagleBank is primarily known for Commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans with CRE comprising two thirds of the bank's loan portfolio as of September 2019. The bank was founded in 1998 under the holding company Eagle Bancorp Inc, which was established in 1997. Operations As of September 30, 2019, commercial real estate and real estate construction represented 70% and C&I loans represented 19% of EagleBank's loan portfolio. The Bank also originates and sells residential mortgages through its Eagle Mortgage division. 85% of all loans are secured or partially secured by real estate. As of September 30, 2019, the bank's total assets were $10.1 billion. In response to the COVID crisis during 2020, EagleBank made 1,441 loans through the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), and as of November of that year, had begun processing applications for forgiveness of the loans, a process expected to be completed sometime in 2021. EagleBank's PPP loans totaled approximately $500 million and were processed in less than two months. The bank had processed less than 100 SBA loans in all of 2019. Many of EagleBank's commercial loan customers, particularly hotels, restaurants, and other service industries, were hit hard by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, the bank offered these business owners a 90-day deferral on payments and later extended some of these loans by an additional 90 days as the crisis continued. The Bank is a lender partner for Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser’s Work in DC, Buy in DC program, offering mortgage loan options that include below-market interest rates to District Government employees looking to buy and live in the District. In addition to the Work in DC, Buy in DC program, EagleBank also established the Gaithersburg Heroes program in 2019. In partnership with the City of Gaithersburg, EagleBank provides down payment assistance for teachers, firefighters, police and first responders seeking to buy homes. Last fall, EagleBank also announced that it would be participating with Landed, a financial services company providing down payment support and homebuyer education programs for K-12 teachers and school employees in the District of Columbia.
