About Us

Bogota Savings Bank has been a community-anchored financial institution since 1893. Originally established as Bogota Savings and Loan, we converted to a State Mutual Savings Bank in 1996 and later merged with Gibraltar Bank in 2021, expanding our footprint into Essex and Morris counties. We believe banking should be personal, local, and reliable. Our mission is to provide excellent customer service, affordable and efficient banking solutions, and superior product offerings to our customers across New Jersey. Whether it’s through our full-service branches, surcharge-free ATM network, or modern digital banking tools, we serve our communities with integrity, care, and responsiveness.
