A modest one-horse institution with one grand purpose: helping neighbors save, build, and own a proper home in Bedford Falls.

Regular deposits for families putting something aside for a rainy day, a wedding day, or the day a home of their own comes within reach.
Careful, practical mortgage lending for working people who can see the future from the steps of a house they helped make possible.
Construction-minded financing for sound small homes, local improvements, and the steady growth of a better Bedford Falls.

Every payment, every share, every careful loan keeps Bedford Falls from becoming a place owned by one man.
No forms to fill out here. Write, telephone, or step inside and ask for George. Uncle Billy may answer first.
"No Bedford Falls family should have to wait for fortune before they can start building a life."
