About Unity Bank

Unity Bank is a member owned bank that has been standing with our members since 1959.

Every one of our members is an owner with a voice and a say in our future. We make responsible, ethical decisions that benefit our members and the community, and reinvest our profits to provide better products and services for our members. We create value for members not shareholders and because of this we stand with you both when times are good but also when you need us most. We have a proud record of never ‘foreclosing’ on a home loan since we started operating in 1959, rather we work with our members to help them through difficult times with dignity and respect. We stand with you when times are tough and in the good times too.

Standing with you

Supporting the life you’re working for.
