AmericasBank Corp. Announces New Trading Symbol.

TOWSON, Md. -- AmericasBank Corp. (OTCBB:AMAB), the parent company of AmericasBank, today announced that it has begun trading under the symbol "AMAB" on the OTCBB.

The company was issued its new ticker following a one-for-four reverse stock split, for which the record date was August 22, 2005. The split became effective today upon the opening of trading on the over-the-counter Bulletin Board. AmericasBank Corp. had previously announced the change in its capital structure as part of its ultimate goal of having its shares listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market.

"Thus far the market has responded well to our announcement concerning the reverse stock split," said Mark H. Anders, President and CEO. "We hope that a growing number of investors will understand and concur with this action which we believe will provide our shareholders with greater liquidity for their holdings and give us broader exposure to a potential investor base."

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the company's transfer agent, is in the process of notifying the company's stockholders of the reverse stock split and requesting that they exchange their certificates representing shares of pre-split common stock for an appropriate number of shares of post-split common stock, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional share.
