Dollar Bank’s story begins in Pittsburgh in 1855. That’s when our founder, Charles Colton had a revolutionary idea: create a bank where anyone could open an account with one dollar in their pocket, regardless of race or gender. (That’s where our name comes from.) Since then, we’ve expanded beyond western Pennsylvania to deliver full-service banking to the people of northeast Ohio and, most recently, the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. Along the way, our unwavering focus on doing what’s right for our customers has poised us to become largest mutual bank in the United States. And through it all, our mission has never changed: empowering those we serve to do the things in life that are most important to them while investing in the growth of the communities they call home.

Founded in 1855, Dollar Bank is, well, different. We’re an independent community bank. That means no publicly traded stock and no shareholders. And that means we can focus on what we do best: empowering the people and communities we serve to do the things they hold dearest. Over more than 165 years, we’ve grown to become a large, full service, regional bank renowned for providing the highest quality banking solutions and services to individuals and businesses. Our customers simply know us for this: understanding their goals and providing the solutions that get them there. And for that, we couldn’t be prouder.
