Bank with your Neighbors

Have you ever thought about how important it is to trust your bank? When it comes to managing your money, you want a partner who has your back. A good bank isn’t just a place to stash your cash—it’s somewhere you can feel confident about saving for the future, whether you’re planning for a rainy day or reaching bigger goals.

Founded in 1874, Manasquan Bank has evolved from a small, community-oriented savings institution into a leading provider of banking services across New Jersey. With over 150 years of service to the residents and businesses of Monmouth, Middlesex, and Ocean Counties, the bank has built a reputation for fostering lasting relationships within the communities it serves. Today, as a full-service financial institution, Manasquan Bank offers a wide range of services, including personal and business accounts, mortgages, and commercial lending.

Beyond traditional banking services, the Manasquan Bank Charitable Foundation plays a vital role in giving back to the community, supporting local organizations and initiatives that align with the bank’s dedication to community development.

With deep roots in the region and a legacy of service, Manasquan Bank continues to play an integral role in helping individuals and businesses thrive, contributing to the growth of stronger, more connected communities.
