Cardinal Financial provides banking, mortgage lending, asset management and investment services. Its Cardinal Bank subsidiary has 25 locations in the Washington area. It opened its first in Maryland, a branch in Bethesda, last year. Despite the turbulent credit markets, its mortgage-banking subsidiary, George Mason, remained profitable. The company took a $3.5 million loss in the third quarter after a deal to purchase stock as escrow agent for Liberty Growth, a private-equity fund, went awry.
