About Us

A bank built by Akron, for Akron.

Bank of Akron headquarters

Founded in 1887 by a group of local merchants and industrialists, Bank of Akron has spent more than a century quietly building one of the most stable banking institutions in Ohio.

We are still privately held, still headquartered three blocks from where we opened our doors, and still answering to the families and businesses that built this city.

Our philosophy is unchanged: be conservative with deposits, generous with attention, and patient with the relationships that matter most.

Integrity

We say what we mean and we stand behind every commitment.

Stewardship

Your deposits are a trust. We manage them with discipline and care.

Community

We invest in the schools, businesses, and causes that make Akron home.
