Nearly Two Centuries of Local Support
Since 1838, Ballston Spa National Bank has helped families and businesses across the Greater Capital Region reach their goals, with the kind of personal attention that only comes from a bank that cares as much about the community as you do.
Welcome to BSNB
For 188 years, Ballston Spa National Bank has proudly supported communities across the greater Capital Region of upstate New York, offering a comprehensive array of banking and investment products and services to help our customers achieve their financial goals.
We have now expanded our services across a broader geographic footprint, delivering an enhanced banking experience through 21 convenient branch locations. As the two banks join together, it is clear we share a common purpose. For us, better banking is more than going through the motions. It’s about making an impact and putting forth the effort to support communities, businesses, families, and you. We show up. Each and every day. From mortgages to commercial loans and everything in between, we are committed to going the extra mile to help you achieve your financial goals.
We’ve also recently taken the opportunity to refresh our brand to better reflect who we are today and where we are headed tomorrow. You’ll see us rolling out our new logo, updated colors, and a more modern look across our branches and digital footprint. While our appearance is changing, our unwavering commitment to you remains the same. The same trusted team with the same dedication to showing up for you.
Thank you for your trust and for allowing us to serve as your financial services partner.
Sincerely,
Christopher R. Dowd

our history
A Trusted Part of Your Community Since 1838
For nearly two centuries, we’ve grown the same way we always have: one relationship, one conversation, and one handshake at a time. Our original home office at 87 Front Street in Ballston Spa has anchored the village since 1824, when it served as a private residence before becoming the heart of our bank.
We recently completed a historic renovation of this landmark building, preserving the character our neighbors know and love while adding a full-service branch, a new ATM, and a new drive-thru, so the place where our story began is ready to welcome you for another 188 years and more.
Our mission

We show up for our customers and communities each and every day, during the moments that matter most. Because we believe financial decisions are about more than numbers. They are about growth.
