Florida banks make fast list

During the recession, plenty of Florida banks shrank their assets.

Now that the recovery is underway, four Florida banks with substantial operations on the Gulf Coast are among the top 20 fastest-growing banks in the country.

FCB Financial Holdings in Weston, C1 Financial in St. Petersburg, Stonegate Bank in Pompano Beach and Capital Bank Financial in Coral Gables were among the 20 fastest-growing banks in the country as measured by assets for the five-year period ending June 30, according to an analysis by SNL Financial.
