long tradition of providing quality customer service and support to our local community.<\/p>\n<p>On February 23, 1923, a group of community members met and enacted The Articles of Association for the incorporation of The Neffs National Bank. There were fifty-five original shareholders. The by-laws were then adopted on November 23, 1923, and the bank was chartered to perform its business functions on December 20, 1923.<\/p>\n<p>The bank originally conducted its business operations using a small room between The Neffs Hotel and Kern &amp; Moser&#8217;s General Store until 1937 when the present day bank building was constructed, which was then expanded in 1965. In 1986, Neffs Bancorp, Inc. was formed and continues in operation as a one-bank holding company. The Neffs National Bank is the sole subsidiary of Neffs Bancorp, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>In 1995 the bank building was expanded again to the form as we know it in present day. April 2020, The Neffs National Bank opened its second location at 211 S. Best Avenue in Walnutport PA. The Walnutport Office is the first expansion of the bank outside of its long-standing location in Neffs, PA.<\/p>\n<p>From its modest beginning in 1923, the growth of the bank has been influenced by the prosperity of the local communities. Individuals and businesses continue to contribute to promoting community-oriented, independently-operated banking. Community banking continues today under the leadership of a dedicated Board of Directors, the excellent cooperation of the employees and loyal support of the shareholders and depositors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Information provided to TVL by:<br \/>\nKylie Adams-Weiss<br \/>\nAVP of Affiliated Chambers<br \/>\nGreater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lehighvalleychamber.org\/\">https:\/\/www.lehighvalleychamber.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Images provided courtesy of The Neffs National Bank Saturday, June 3rd, Neffs, Pa-\u00a0The Neffs National Bank held a Community Picnic to celebrate 100 years of serving the local community.
