First Hope Bank will reopen under normal business hours on Tuesday, September 8th, 2026.

First Hope Bank is a family operated community bank that has been in operation since 1911. We are a full-service bank with products ranging from deposit accounts to loans to investment and insurance products offered by either our Trust Department or LPL Financial. Located in Northwestern New Jersey, the Bank was started in Hope, a town originally built by members of the Moravian community. In fact, our main office is located in the restored former church of the settlement. During our corporate history, the Bank has grown and flourished through the Depression, three generations of family leadership, and advancements in technology and services ranging from the drive-up window to the ATM to Internet Banking. While we are very proud of our history and our commitment to the community, we also have to focus on the present in order to expand the history of the Bank. Our annual financial results for the latest calendar year are available on our website. Additionally, you can read what we have been up to recently by viewing our press releases.
