THE HISTORY OF MIAMI SAVINGS BANK
In December of 1909, the Miami Savings & Loan Company was incorporated in Miamitown, Ohio. The first Directors, elected on January 10, 1910, were Lewis R. Hine, William Adams, Frank Arnold, William Bohnert, Amos Pickens, Joseph Gieringer Sr., and William Minges. Their vision was a simple concept of “neighbors helping neighbors.”
The Miami Savings & Loan Company originally rented space in the Joseph Gieringer & Sons Company building. In 1931, the bank purchased the building. It was remodeled and remained the home of Miami Savings & Loan until 1964 when the company moved into its new and present location at 8008 Ferry Street. The Ferry Street location was remodeled and an addition was built in 1994. It is now twice the size it was in 1964.
In February of 1995, Miami Savings & Loan opened its second location on South State Street in Harrison, Ohio. Just four years later, in August of 1999, Miami Savings & Loan, now known as Miami Savings Bank, opened its third branch in Oxford, Ohio on West Spring Street near the Miami University campus. At the end of September, 2008, Miami Savings continued its growth by moving its Oxford branch to a larger facility at 475 McGuffey Avenue.
Since opening in 1909, Miami Savings Bank began with capital stock of $50,000 and one office, and has grown into a bank which now has three branches and over $120,000,000 in assets.
