The Neffs National Bank holds Large Community Picnic to Celebrate 100 Year Anniversary

Saturday, June 3rd, Neffs PA- The Neffs National Bank held a Community Picnic to celebrate 100 years of serving the local community. The picnic was held at the Neffs Union United Church of Christ, Grove. Customers and community members enjoyed free music, food and fun. Local non-profit organizations provided information about programs and presented fun games and activities. The Mudflaps Band performed two sets for over 1,000 picnic attendees.

The Neffs National Bank is an independent community bank with a 100-year long tradition of providing quality customer service and support to our local community.

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.

The bank originally conducted its business operations using a small room between The Neffs Hotel and Kern & Moser'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.

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.

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.

This event was covered by local newspapers and TV stations.

Serving the local community for 100 years.

1923-2023

As we celebrated our 100th Anniversary, we focused our ad campaign around our commitment to serving our community where we as employees also live and work. Our services are not outsources, we are your neighbors and friends, when you call us you get a person who is local and whom you know and trust. We wanted all of our marketing, advertising, branding, and communication efforts throughout the year to focus on our 100th Anniversary and our continued commitment to providing exceptional customer service and community support.

The beginning of the year our ad campaign focused on the 100 years of proudly serving our local community. The imagery gave a nod to the "good old days" of banking with a handshake. A second ad set held the tag, "Some things never change" listing our tag line, "Strength. Trust. Community" and showed our original bank building surrounded by vintage cars. The times may change, but our core values and commitments will never falter.
As the year evolved our ad campaign focused on banking easy, and banking local. All of the modern conveniences you need, backed by the local personalized customer service you deserve. We ran a secondary ad set that focused on online banking and the convenience of banking at your fingertips with images to attract a younger demographic.
All of our advertising remained consistent with strong branding and use of our 100th Anniversary logo was emphasized in all of our external and internal communications and advertising.
We made sure we included the 100th Anniversary whenever and wherever we were able, including social media posts featuring vintage photos, photos of the bank's phases of construction and a fun "what did it cost in 1923?" social media feature.

This year's campaign successful promoted our 100th anniversary and all of the fun activities, promotions, and events in a fun and engaging way while paying homage to being a trusted and loyal community pillar.
