      CORE BALANCE SHEET GROWTH AND ASSET QUALITY CONTINUE TO DRIVE RESULTS


BALTIMORE: (July 16, 2003) - Provident Bankshares Corporation (NASDAQ:PBKS), the
parent company of Provident Bank, today reported $12.2 million in net income or
$0.49 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2003.

Growth in core loans and deposits, strong credit quality, and improving
financial fundamentals were clear evidence of the success of Provident's focus
on its key strategies to grow its regional banking business and further expand
into the vibrant Washington metropolitan region. Diluted earnings per share
increased 23% over the same quarter last year, as Provident saw 11% growth in
average core loans and 6% growth in average core deposits.

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Provident Bankshares reported net income for the quarter ending June 30, 2003 of
$12.2 million, or $0.49 per diluted share. Return on average common equity was
15.88% for the second quarter 2003, and return on average assets was 0.98%. Net
interest margin on a tax equivalent basis was 3.18%.

Total average loans and deposits decreased 6% and 4%, respectively, versus the
second quarter 2002, reflecting the planned reduction in non-core assets and
funding. Average non-core loans decreased 32% over the 2002 second quarter, and
average non-core deposits decreased 43% for the same period. In line with
Provident's strategy to focus on core banking operations, and as the result of
stronger loan demand and deposit product sales, core loans and deposits
increased compared to the second quarter 2002. Average core loans increased $182
million, or 11%, from the same quarter last year. Average core deposits
increased $152 million, up 6% over the second quarter 2002.

Core loans are loans originated by Provident and participations in our defined
market area. Non-core loans are purchased loans, participations outside our
defined market area, and Provident-originated loans from discontinued product
lines. Provident's core deposits include all deposits except brokered deposits.

Non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, grew to $23.3 million from
$21.7 million in the second quarter 2002. Provident continued to post solid fee
income growth. Total deposit service fees increased $1.5 million, or 8%, over
the 2002 second quarter and were driven by the growth in commercial and consumer
deposit accounts.

Asset quality remained strong. Total non-performing loans at June 30, 2003 were
$19.4 million, down $3.3 million, or 14%, from the same quarter last year. Net
charge-offs declined 43%, from $3.1 million to $1.8 million, and the allowance
for loan losses to loans was 1.32% at the close of the quarter. Substantially
all of the non-performing loans continue to be secured by residential real
estate.

The Company continued to build on a stronger balance sheet, with less funding
from wholesale sources and expanded capital ratios. The leverage ratio increased
to 7.51%, compared to 7.46% in the second quarter of 2002. Total risk-based
capital increased to 13.21% from 12.13% at second quarter end 2002.

DIVIDEND DECLARED

Provident Bankshares announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.235 per share. This is the fortieth consecutive
quarterly dividend increase. The quarterly cash dividend will be paid on August
8, 2003 to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 28, 2003.

MANAGEMENT COMMENT

Commenting on the Company's second quarter performance, Chairman and CEO Gary N.
Geisel said, "We are very pleased with Provident's performance this quarter. Our
execution was right on strategy and our performance was on plan. We saw solid
revenue increases across all our business lines, in both our traditional
Baltimore market and our expansion Washington market. As a result, we posted
significant increases in our core loans and deposits, as we continued to manage
down our non-core asset and liability portfolios in line with our previously
outlined strategies.



                                       2

During the quarter, we also addressed the impact of the new interchange
structure announced by our provider, MasterCard. We anticipate a $2.2 million
reduction in gross debit card income from August 1st through the end of the
year. Our management team has specifically identified increases in fee income,
pricing opportunities, and reductions in expenses that will offset this
shortfall. Therefore, we expect no negative impact to the bottom line in 2003 as
a result of the debit card interchange restructure. We continue to assess
communications and projections from MasterCard, and are developing our own
strategies and projections for 2004.

We end this quarter with a strong pipeline in both consumer and commercial
loans, strong credit quality and solid revenue momentum for the remainder of
2003."

KEY BUSINESS STRATEGIES CONTINUE TO DRIVE RESULTS

Continued successful execution of the Company's key business strategies produced
another quarter of positive results, and is expected to drive performance for
the remainder of 2003. Provident's key business strategies are:

o    BROADEN PRESENCE AND CUSTOMER BASE IN THE WASHINGTON METRO MARKET AND
     EXPAND BRANCH NETWORK IN VIBRANT MARKETS

     Provident continued to expand its presence and increase its customer base
     in the key Washington metropolitan region. One branch was opened in this
     region during the quarter, bringing the total to 45. Average consumer
     demand deposit balances in the region increased 26% over the second quarter
     2002. Consumer deposit fee income in this market increased 20% over 2002.
     Average commercial deposit balances in the Washington metropolitan area
     increased 60% over the second quarter 2002, led by an 88% increase in
     demand deposit balances. Average core commercial loan balances in the
     region increased 12% over the same period in 2002.

     The Provident banking office network now stands at 114 branches, with 5
     branches planned in the Washington metropolitan region for the remainder of
     2003.

o    GROW COMMERCIAL BUSINESS IN THE BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON CORRIDOR

     Average core commercial deposits were up $120 million, or 35%, over the
     2002 second quarter, as Provident continued to grow its commercial customer
     base and expand its relationships with existing customers. This growth was
     driven by a 47% increase in average commercial demand deposit account
     balances for the same period. Average core commercial loans grew in every
     category, increasing $99 million, or 12%, over the second quarter 2002.



                                       3

     FOCUS RESOURCES ON GROWTH IN CORE BUSINESS LINES

     Provident's expanded consumer and commercial sales efforts, along with the
     Company's initiatives to capitalize on the current market disruption, have
     resulted in further growth in core loans and deposits. Average core loans
     now comprise 72% of total loans, up from 61% in the second quarter 2002.
     Average core deposits represent 89% of total deposits, up from 81% in the
     second quarter 2002.

     Average core consumer loan balances increased $83 million, or 11%, over the
     2002 second quarter. During this period, average marine loan balances
     increased 18%, and home equity loans and lines increased 6%. The non-core
     consumer loan portfolio declined $304 million, or 31%, from the second
     quarter of 2002.

     Average core commercial loans increased 12%, or $99 million, from the 2002
     second quarter and the average non-core national syndicated loan portfolio
     continued to decrease, averaging $38 million for the quarter, down 47% from
     the same quarter in 2002. Non-core national syndicated loans now account
     for less than 2% of average total loans.

     Average core deposits grew again this quarter, increasing $152 million, or
     6%. The deposit mix continued to improve, with higher rate certificate of
     deposit balances decreasing $103 million, or 15%, while demand deposit
     balances increased $188 million, or 24%. Brokered deposits continued to
     mature, declining from an average balance of $631 million in the second
     quarter 2002 to an average of $357 million in the second quarter 2003, a
     43% decline.

o    IMPROVE FINANCIAL FUNDAMENTALS

     Commitment to the achievement of the key strategies continued to result in
     improvement in Provident's financial fundamentals. Return on average
     assets was 0.98%, and return on average common equity was 15.88%. The
     leverage ratio was 7.51% and total risk-based capital was 13.21%. As core
     loans and deposits continue to represent a larger percentage of the
     balance sheet, these fundamentals will continue to show improvement.

     Asset quality continued to be strong, with non-performing loans decreasing
     $3.3 million to $19.4 million at the end of the quarter. Net charge-offs
     decreased to $1.8 million, representing 0.28% of average loans, down from
     0.47% in the second quarter 2002. The allowance for loan losses as a
     percent of total loans stands at 1.32% at the end of the quarter.

OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE

Commenting on the future for Provident Bankshares, Chairman and CEO Gary N.
Geisel added, "Our solid performance for the first six months has positioned
Provident well for continued growth in the second half of the year. The third
and fourth quarters have historically been our strongest from a revenue
perspective, and we anticipate this trend to continue for 2003.

We remain focused on earnings growth as well as the quality of our earnings. We
are working to enhance EPS growth, while at the same time, emphasizing key
metrics such as margin, return on assets, and efficiency. We remain confident in
Provident's ability to exceed the analyst EPS consensus estimates of $2.00 for
the full year 2003."
