For one hundred years, Ridgewood Savings Bank has been the place where banking is about more than money, and community always comes first. From our humble beginnings in Ridgewood, Queens, we’ve grown throughout the area by being a trusted partner for every stage of life. We’re inspired by traditional values, and committed to providing modern solutions.

As customer needs have changed, Ridgewood has been here for them. We continue to offer the many services our customers count on, while adding enhanced banking technology along the way. In the fifties, we opened the area’s first drive-up teller to keep our customers moving.

Today, you’ll find enhanced, drive-up ATMs and so much more, including a full range of digital tools that let you bank with a tap of your phone or a flick of your smartwatch. And we’re staying the course – continually adding new branches, so friendly, personal service is always close to home. Times change, but our commitment stays the same.

We’re here to multiply the good in the lives of our customers, and in every community we serve.
