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
Serving the financial needs of our community has been a driving force for BSNB since we opened our doors in 1838. Today, we continue to build for the future by giving back to the communities we serve, offering the products and services that customers need and expect, and by developing relationships—one client at a time. In fact, customers tell us that BSNB’s ongoing commitment to a banking experience with a personal touch is what sets us apart.
I encourage you to get to know us. The heart and soul of BSNB is comprised of a talented team of people dedicated to the following:
- To consistently exceed expectations and treat every customer as if we’ve known them our entire life;
- To give back and strengthen the communities where we work and live;
- To continually improve and enhance the value we deliver to our customers, staff, and community;
- To constantly surprise people with what a bank can be and the impact it can have on customers and the community;
- To a belief that actions and not just words define who we are as a company.
We know you have a choice when it comes to your bank and will work hard to earn your business. From loans and mortgages, to checking and savings – BSNB is here for all your financial needs, at your local branch, online or on the go.
Sincerely,

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.
