Mail Stop 0408 February 8, 2006 By U.S. Mail and Facsimile (443) 263-7553 Mark H. Anders President and Chief Executive Officer AmericasBank Corp. 500 York Road Towson, Maryland 21204 Re:	AmericasBank Corp. 	Form SB-2 filed December 21, 2005 	File No. 333-130542 Dear Mr. Anders: We have reviewed your amendment and have the following comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional comments. The purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. General 1. Your response letter and cover page are confusing. Please note that if you collect money from investors in an escrow account, you are conducting a continuous offering. Investors must receive a definitive prospectus before they send in money, and that prospectus must have a price. It is confusing to speak of a pricing after investors have sent in their money. 2. Please note the updating requirements of Rule 310(g) of Regulation S-B. 3. Please file updated consents for all audited financial statements included in your next filing. Cover Page 4. We note the response to our prior comment 1. Please revise to indicate when the offering will be over. Refer to Item 501(a)(9)(iii). 5. Please include the price. Exhibit 5.1 6. We note that the legality opinion is restricted to federal law. In light of the fact that the company is incorporated in Maryland, it appears that the opinion should opine on Maryland law. Please revise. * * * Closing Comments As appropriate, please amend your registration statement in response to these comments. You may wish to provide us with marked copies of the amendment to expedite our review. Please furnish a cover letter with your amendment that keys your responses to our comments and provides any requested supplemental information. Detailed cover letters greatly facilitate our review.
