Honoring Our Past & Looking to Our Future

SAME PEOPLE. SAME SERVICE. NEW NAME.

We are so excited to finally reveal that Savings Bank of Danbury is becoming Ives Bank. Our new name, Ives Bank, honors our past and embraces the values that built this bank.  It helps us share our exceptional service with more customers and their communities. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

Later this year, Savings Bank of Danbury will formally change its name to Ives Bank.

The decision to change the name from Savings Bank of Danbury to Ives Bank came after several years of internal branding discussions.

In its early years, Savings Bank of Danbury was focused largely on the Danbury community. As the Bank has expanded over the years, most recently into lower Fairfield County, the Bank sought a new name with broader appeal throughout the region.

The Ives name was chosen because it has long been a part of Savings Bank of Danbury’s history. The Bank’s first location was in the Ives home in Danbury. George W. Ives was the first Secretary-Treasurer of the Bank, and the Bank has been a principal sponsor in the rehabilitation of the Ives home, which is now under the ownership of the Danbury Museum and Historical Society.
