Dollar Bank's Philosophies

The Key Is Our Independence

We are the largest independent mutual bank in the nation.* In this age of mega mergers in the banking industry, Dollar Bank remains fiercely independent and committed to providing the highest quality of banking services to individuals and businesses for many more years to come. And as a mutual institution, we have no stock to sell. As a well-capitalized bank, we have no reason to sell. This means that consumers and businesses alike will continue to find Dollar Bank as a viable option to meet their needs.

Safe, Sound, and Independent Since 1855

Driven by the same independent spirit that has allowed us to grow for over years, our success is rooted in an intense effort to provide the products and services that reflect the needs of our customers. Dollar Bank remains committed to delivering the highest quality of banking services to individuals and businesses for many years to come.

Here are some specific points that indicate Dollar Bank’s continued strength.
  • For years Dollar Bank has been focused on one thing, and one thing alone…meeting the needs of the customers and the region we serve. And as the nation’s largest mutual bank, we have no shareholder demands to distract our attention from that singular mission. Our advertising in recent years has emphasized that our customer focus is on “Main Street, not Wall Street”. That’s the value of independence.
  • This focus on growing personal and business customer relationships in northeastern Ohio and southwestern Pennsylvania is why our asset base has grown 8% in the last year and today stands at $5.7 billion. That growth is supported by an ever-expanding branch network in both markets and by Dollar Bank’s recent introduction of a new Cleveland headquarters facility.
  • Our history of sound management is evidenced by the Bank’s superior capital position. Dollar Bank’s core capital has grown to more than
    $550 M, exceeding by more than $200 M the 6% requirement for being considered “well capitalized”, the highest category of capitalization under the regulatory framework of the Office of Thrift Supervision.
  • Dollar Bank’s loan portfolio has steadily grown in the areas of residential and commercial real estate, corporate and small business, and education loan funding with a consistent and conservative approach. We have not changed our lending standards in many years and have never participated in the sub-prime lending marketplace. This conservative lending practice has stood the Bank well. Our non-performing assets as a percentage of assets are approximately half of .- .75%, an extremely low percentage for the industry. As a result, Dollar Bank’s credit quality has remained strong, and more than adequate reserves are in place to support continued growth.

Relationships Built On Experience

It is through relationships developed and cultivated over six generations that Dollar Bank is able to make an impact in our communities. We have grown large enough to be an instrument of change for the businesses we serve, without abandoning the personal service they have come to expect. Dollar Bank recognizes that lending to area businesses spurs job growth, enhances the tax base and strengthens the region's economic viability. Businesses both large and small - and the community as a whole - have been the beneficiaries of our sound, yet creative approaches to business lending.

The Difference Is Our People

Key to the success of Business Banking at Dollar Bank is our people. You will benefit from the services provided by experienced bankers, capable of managing your accounts and developing an understanding of your business. This ongoing relationship allows your banker to address your current financial needs and assist you in anticipating future opportunities.

Relationship managers work closely with all key areas within Dollar Bank including Business Financing, Real Estate Lending, Leasing, Cash Management Services and Private Banking as your needs arise.

Here For The Future

At its core, banking has always been a business of responsibility and earning the confidence of our customers. The leaders of Dollar Bank feel an intense responsibility to remain independent and provide products and services that grow out of understanding our customers' needs, both individual and business. That's what has set Dollar Bank apart in the minds of our customers and has made us one of the oldest continuously operating banks in our region. That's what will carry Dollar Bank into the future.
