Roosevelt Savings Bank

The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. It was the first steel-wire suspension bridge in the world. It opened on May 24, 1883. On the first day, a total of 1,800 vehicles and 150,300 people crossed.

The bridge and truss system was designed to be six times stronger than the engineers thought it needed to be. Because of this, the Brooklyn Bridge is still standing when many of the bridges built around the same time have vanished into history and been replaced.

Roosevelt Savings Bank was established in 1895 on the corner of Gates Avenue and Broadway in Brooklyn, under the name "Eastern District Savings Bank." In 1920, the name was changed to honor the memory of the nation's 26th president, Theodore Roosevelt.

A member of the NYCB Family of Banks since October 31, 2003, Roosevelt Savings Bank today serves its customers through four traditional and four in-store branches, and seven 24-hour ATMs.
