TELL-A-FRIEND CONTEST PAYS OFF BIG FOR PROVIDENT CUSTOMER & CATONSVILLE RESIDENT TARA THOMAS

Baltimore, November 10, 2005Provident Bank announces that Catonsville resident Tara Thomas is the recipient of a brand new 2005 Pontiac Vibe as she was named the winner of the Bank’s "Tell-A-Friend-Win-A-Car" contest that began earlier this summer.

Thomas, a frequent customer of Provident’s Catonsville Shoppers Food Warehouse Branch, was picked up and escorted to the Atlee Branch in Mechanicsville, VA where she was presented with her new car on November 8.

Thomas expressed that it is convenient to bank with Provident because she often shops at the same Catonsville Shoppers Food Warehouse location. She was delighted to win the car and took two friends along for the presentation so that they could join her on the drive back to the Catonsville area.

Provident first launched the "Tell-A-Friend-Win-A-Car" contest earlier this summer, a strategy designed to generate additional relationships from those who know us best: our customers. The program exceeded expectations as customers shared their "Provident Experience" with family and friends from Baltimore to Richmond. Every time a new customer opened a personal checking account, the existing Provident customer who referred them was entered in a drawing to win the Pontiac Vibe.

Provident Bankshares Corporation is the holding company for Provident Bank. With $6.4 billion in assets, Provident serves individuals and businesses in the key urban areas of Baltimore, Washington and Richmond through a network of 152 offices in Maryland, Virginia, and southern York County, PA. Provident Bank also offers related financial services through wholly owned subsidiaries. Securities brokerage, investment management and related insurance services are available through Provident Investment Center and leases through Court Square Leasing and Provident Lease Corp.
