Sun National Bank Hires Washington Mutual's New Jersey Commercial Relationship Team

     Our mission is uncompromising...
             ...to be the Premier Community Bank in every community we serve

    VINELAND, N.J., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On Monday, October 4,
2004, a group headed by Robert C. Lemaire and four experienced relationship
managers - J. Theodore Bossert, William Schumacher, Michael Russo and John
Yoler - all formerly commercial bankers with Washington Mutual's New Jersey
Commercial Banking Center, will open Sun's newly created Loan Production
Office in Short Hills, New Jersey.
    "This is a wonderful opportunity for Sun Bank, and we are extremely
pleased to add such a veteran group of bankers to the Sun family," stated
Thomas A. Bracken, president and chief executive officer of Sun Bancorp, Inc.
and its wholly owned subsidiary Sun National Bank.  "With the addition of
these highly experienced commercial bankers, we have an excellent opportunity
to expand our commercial customer base."
    The Loan Production Office will be led by Lemaire, who, along with his
team, built one of Washington Mutual's largest and fastest growing commercial
banking centers in less than three years.
    This move will complement several of Sun's major initiatives, including:

      -- Hiring experienced, well-known, successful bankers who enjoy a strong
         customer following;
      -- Opening a Loan Production Office north of our existing bank
         footprint;
      -- Accelerating our commercial loan growth;
      -- Expanding the market presence of Sun National Bank.

    "Opportunities like this don't happen everyday," added Bracken.  "We are
very excited about the prospects for our new team and Sun National Bank."

subsidiary is Sun National Bank, serving customers through 81 Community
