About Us
This is the way we grow.
Meet GreenWay Bank—
—a community bank proudly headquartered in Van Wert, Ohio. We were founded on long-term commitment and genuine care for our community and the people that make it great. Those original values remain close to our hearts today. But it’s our present-day passion and persistence that are paving the way for a successful future.
Success looks different to us than what you might be used to. Some banks exist only to make a buck. But at GreenWay, we’d rather have your back. We love knowing that when our accounts grow, our community grows with them—so we go the extra mile to help our customers thrive. Though we’re all about small-town charm, we consistently provide the highly competitive services you’d expect from a much bigger institution. We’re already fully equipped to meet complex personal and commercial financial needs and our services are only going to improve.
It’s everyday people and business owners like you that inspire everything we do. As your banking partner, we’re your biggest fan and your loudest cheerleader. When you walk in our doors, you’ll be greeted by name. And when we ask about your family, your business or simply how your day is going, we’re not just making conversation. We’re genuinely interested because we’re genuinely your friend, not just your bank.
We planted roots in this community with the promise to serve people with integrity as we care for them on a personal level. And because those values haven’t changed in over 135 years, you can trust we’ll stick with them for another 135, even as we continue to branch out. To us, that’s the best way to grow.
History
GreenWay Bank started as Van Wert Federal Savings Bank. Its impressive history dates back to 1889 where for over 135 years it has provided exceptional customer service with a personalized banking approach. With a wealth of fascinating stories and historical milestones, our bank has a bright future filled with opportunities for growth and progress.
In the summer of 2022, we made a monumental decision to convert our bank from a mutual thrift to a regional commercial bank, demonstrating our commitment to uphold our legacy. Our renewed investment in the bank includes upgraded services and innovative banking solutions, designed to meet your needs. We are confident that our direction will enable us to deliver valuable partnerships to you and our communities for another 135 years. We appreciate your continued trust and support, and we look forward to serving you.
