115 years ago, a group of local farmers came together to establish a bank in New Tripoli, Pennsylvania. Before this, the nearest banks were in Allentown, Kutztown, and Slatington, which meant locals would need to set aside several hours of their day just to get their banking done. New Tripoli Bank opened its doors on March 1st, 1910. Originally under the name of New Tripoli National Bank, offering deposit and loan products to locals clamoring for a more convenient bank. Once our doors opened, they never closed.

New Tripoli Bank weathered the Great Depression, two world wars, several recessions, and years of industry consolidation that had shuttered or swallowed up countless other community banks. We have grown from a single office in New Tripoli to three branches located across Lehi County. Claussville, our second office, is located in Orefield and Buckeye, our third office, is located between Emmaus and Macungie. Over the past 115 years, we've adapted our banking tools to meet customer expectations for quality banking service. Whether it's online and mobile account opening, electronic banking tools, or fraud detection services, New Tripoli Bank is always upgrading our offerings to provide effective modern banking solutions.

However, no matter how advanced our technology is, we never forget the importance of community in everything we do. New Tripoli Bank has been a cornerstone of the Lehigh Valley economy for over a century and we take great pride in our role in the community. We've helped local businesses grow and provided needed funding to schools, historical societies, fire departments, emergency services, and other local organizations. Our employees are all drawn from the Lehigh Valley. They sit on the boards of local nonprofits and chambers of commerce or volunteer at local churches, food pantries, and other nonprofit organizations.

It's this community focus that is the secret to our success. We offer the same conveniences as national banks while treating our customers as individuals rather than just another account on the ledger. When you step through our doors, you are greeted with a smile and recognition. We know that many of our customers choose to bank with New Tripoli Bank because your parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents were customers. But we also know that you choose to stay with New Tripoli Bank for all the reasons we've mentioned. We intend to be the bank of choice for future generations and to keep that spirit of community banking alive for another 115 years.
