INDUSTRY INSIGHT BANKING SPONSORED CONTENT Our Story A s an independent, mutual bank, with no capital stock and no individual shareholders, Dollar Bank is dedicated to providing high- quality banking services to our customers, not enriching shareholders. That’s why we’re diff erent. Making History From the beginning, Dollar Bank made no restrictions on who could open a savings account with us. Men, women, young, old, all races, all creeds, Americans and immigrants—all were welcome. In addition, Dollar Bank was at the forefront in recognizing the right of married women to maintain property separate from that of their husbands. Dollar Bank’s 1855 charter acknowledged married women as the sole legal owners of their savings accounts. Single women retained exclusive ownership of their savings accounts at Dollar Bank even after they got married. While this is an accepted certainty today, it was not the norm in the 1800s. How Our Mutuality Benefi ts You Today In 1900, Dollar Bank was the largest holder of investments in local mortgages, bonds and securities of any bank in the Pittsburgh region. Helping put families in homes and providing funds to build roads, schools and hospitals, Dollar Bank grew with the communities where our customers lived and worked. Our commitment to helping everyday workers has remained. Our Credit Enhancement and Mortgages For Mothers programs have helped over 4,000 low- and moderate-income women and men become homeowners. With a combination of traditional banking products and advanced services that off er convenience and security, we are committed to serving the needs of the South Fayette community every day. Our knowledgeable and caring employees will continue this legacy of superior customer service. For more information about Dollar Bank and our unique story, visit us online at dollar.bank.
