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

The location that’s remaining open is at 1 Firehouse Plaza, or 128 Hudson St, a few blocks from the Hoboken train station.

According to the Hoboken Historical Museum, that was the original location of Hoboken's Fire Department headquarters until the 1970s. The building was demolished and replaced by First Jersey Bank around 1976. You can read more about the building on the bronze plaque in the ATM area/lobby.

Another Bank Closed And One Opened

Meanwhile, a new bank, Blue Foundry bank, opened on Washington Street in spring 2022.
