We are a community-based, full-service commercial bank that emphasizes the banking needs of small to medium-sized businesses, professional entities, governmental agencies and individuals. We opened in January 2006 under the name Northern State Bank. We offer a broad range of consumer and commercial banking services to our customers. We offer high-quality service by providing more direct, personal attention than we believe is offered by competing financial institutions, most of which are branch offices of banks headquartered outside our primary trade area. We believe that this combination of quick, responsive and personal service, combined with state-of-the-art banking technology, provides our customers with a superior banking experience. We urge potential investors to read our 2015 Annual Report, and subsequent Shareholder Letters, for a review of our operations, by selecting the investor relations tab on this website.

On July 22, 2010, we entered into a Recapitalization Agreement. The Recapitalization was consummated on December 14, 2010, and we raised approximately $18.3 million in additional capital. As part of the Recapitalization, we also relocated our headquarters to 105 River Avenue in Lakewood, while maintaining our original branch in Closter, New Jersey. We now serve Ocean, Monmouth, and Mercer Counties in New Jersey, as well as our original target market of Bergen County, New Jersey. We also restructured our Board of Directors, adding 11 new Board Members, while maintaining four members of the Bank’s original Board. 

Kearny Bank is a community bank founded in 1884 as a New Jersey mutual building and loan association. The association obtained federal insurance of accounts in 1939 and received a federal charter in 1941. In February 2015, Kearny Bank changed its name from Kearny Federal Savings Bank to Kearny Bank. Kearny Bank is wholly owned by Kearny Financial Corp. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation organized as a fully public holding company. Today the Company has assets of $4.41 billion. Kearny Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. By providing a superior level of service, we hope to earn your long-term loyalty and become your financial partner for many years to come. Whether it is a loan request, information about a deposit product or assistance with one of our other financial services, we pledge to respond quickly, professionally and in a manner that puts your needs first.
