Exhibit 99.1

Access National Reports 88% Increase in Q1 Earnings, Boosts Dividend

RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 20, 2011--Access National Corporation (NASDAQ: ANCX), parent company for Access National Bank, reported first quarter net income of $2.3 million, a 88.1% increase over the $1.2 million recorded in the first quarter of 2010. This represents the company’s 43rd consecutive quarterly profit. Net income per diluted common share was $0.22, an increase of 100.0% over the $0.11 reported in the first quarter of 2010.

The Board of Directors also declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per share for shareholders of record as of May 5, 2011 and payable on May 25, 2011. The dividend represents a $0.01 increase over the per share dividend paid in the prior quarter on February 25, 2011.

Income before taxes from the banking segment increased 129% to $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $1.5 million for the first quarter 2010. The banking segment contributed 94% of consolidated earnings in the first quarter of 2011 compared to a contribution rate of 77% in the first quarter of 2010. In the first quarter 2011, the mortgage segment contributed $711 thousand in pre-tax earnings on mortgage origination volume of $122 million compared to a contribution of $778 thousand on origination volume of $149 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Return on average assets was 1.20% for the first quarter of 2011 compared to 0.74% for the first quarter of 2010. Return on average equity was 12.53% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to 7.01% for the same period last year. Book value per common share was $7.21 at March 31, 2011 compared to $6.52 at March 31, 2010, an increase of 10.6%.

Assets totaled $717.2 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $831.8 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $114.6 million. The decrease in assets occurred in loans held for sale and interest-bearing balances and federal funds sold, indirectly a result of a 54% quarter over quarter reduction in mortgage origination volume.

Deposits totaled $496.2 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $627.8 million at December 31, 2010. In spite of a $4 million increase in Demand Deposits during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, overall deposits declined due to a deliberate reduction in brokered and CDAR deposits. The redemption of brokered and CDAR deposits consumed cash proceeds from interest-bearing balances and Loans Held for Sale.

Non-performing assets (NPAs, including Troubled Debt Restructurings or TDRs) totaled approximately $11.0 million or 1.53% of assets at March 31, 2011, compared to $10.4 million or 1.25% of assets at December 31, 2010. NPAs are comprised of non-accrual loans totaling $9.1 million and other real estate owned of $1.9 million. The allowance for loan losses totaled $10.7 million or 2.16% of total loans held for investment as of March 31, 2011.

Access National Corporation and its subsidiary bank continue to exceed standards of being “Well Capitalized” as defined under banking regulations. The ratio of total equity to total assets at March 31, 2011 was 10.38%.
