Our History of Community Banking

Over a century of local decisions, stable leadership, and hometown service.

Founded in 1883, Union County Savings Bank has proudly served generations of customers across Union and Essex Counties. As an independent community bank, we make decisions locally, keep our mortgages in-house, and remain focused on long-term relationships rather than short-term transactions.

With four convenient locations in and around Elizabeth, we provide a full range of banking services—pairing competitive rates with the kind of personal, hometown service you expect from your community bank.

  • Independent community bank since 1883
  • Local decision-making and in-house mortgage servicing
  • Four convenient branches serving Union County and surrounding areas
  • Competitive rates with personalized, relationship-driven service
