About
We are a community-based, full-service commercial bank that emphasizes the banking needs of small to medium-sized businesses, professional entities and individual consumers throughout the New Jersey and part of the New York trade areas. Our history begins in 2006 when we opened our doors as Northern State Bank, a state-chartered banking institution. In December of 2010, The Bank was recapitalized primarily by a group of local business people located in Ocean County who were seeking an investment and an outlet to service what appeared to be an ever-growing population growth in Lakewood and the surrounding communities we service. The Bank was renamed at that time to First Commerce Bank with our main office relocated to 105 River Avenue in Lakewood, NJ. Our Board of Directors was restructured to include several of the existing Board members of Northern State Bank with the addition of (11) new Board members primarily from the Ocean/Monmouth/Mercer County area. Since that time, The Bank has continued to grow and expand its branch network with (10) branches in all, located in the following towns:
