Founded in 1879 in Chester, Pennsylvania, Iron Workers Bank is a local business deeply rooted in our community for over 140 years. Iron Workers Bank has a proud heritage as a mutual savings bank. The Bank was named after the local artisans who built ironclad ships in the local shipyard. The strength of the shipbuilding industry and accessibility of the Port of Chester to the eastern seaboard created an abundance of foundries and machine shops in the area. The Bank's name is derived from the people it served in the early days where principles of frugality, hard work, and dedication were essential community values.
Today, Iron Workers Bank continues with this well-established tradition of service to its customers and the communities we serve.
