First Hope Bank is a family operated community bank that has been in operation since 1911. First Hope Bank is a full-service bank with products ranging from deposit accounts to loans to investment and insurance products offered by either Trust Department or Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.
Located in Northwestern New Jersey, the Bank was started in Hope, a town originally built by members of the Moravian community. During corporate history, the Bank has grown and flourished through the Great Depression, three generations of family leadership, and advancements in technology and services ranging from the drive-up window to the ATM to online banking and mobile banking.
Since 1911, the Bank and its leadership have been heavily involved in the support of local businesses, especially the Hope Creamery; the establishment of volunteer fire departments in Hope, Independence Township, and Mountain Lake; and ambulance squads in Belvidere, Blairstown, and Independence Township. As part of the bank's 1987-88 restoration, a monument honoring all Hope citizens who served their country in peace and war was presented to the Township of Hope.
