Another Hoboken Bank Will Close This Summer

HOBOKEN, NJ — Don't bank on being able to head to two different branches of your bank in Hoboken anymore, if you're a customer at Bank of America.

While the bank's location at Hudson and Second streets — a former site of a fire headquarters — will remain open, customers recently got a letter dated April 28 saying that the location in central Washington Street will close in August.

The bank reduced its hours during the height of the pandemic and then kept the branch closed on weekends.

The location at 615 Washington St. will close on Aug. 8, 2023, the company said.

The location was once United Jersey bank, then became Summit, Fleet, and finally, Bank of America.

The location that will remain open is at 1 Firehouse Plaza, or 128 Hudson St.

According to the Hoboken Historical Museum, that was the original location of the Fire Department headquarters until the 1970s. The building was demolished and replaced by First Jersey Bank around 1976. A bronze plaque in the ATM area/lobby tells of its history.

Another Bank Closing

In early April, the uptown Kearny Bank said it would close at the end of June. A letter advised customers to visit their North Bergen branch after that. READ MORE: Uptown Hoboken Bank Plans To Close
