Apple Bank has officially opened the doors to its newest branch location at 140 East Kennedy Boulevard, marking the Bank’s latest step in expanding its presence across New Jersey.
The Lakewood location is Apple Bank’s third branch in the state, joining existing offices in Englewood and Iselin. With more than 80 branches across the greater New York metropolitan area, the Lakewood expansion reflects the Bank’s ongoing strategy to grow its footprint while providing personalized banking services to local communities.
“Our expansion into Lakewood is a natural extension of Apple Bank’s mission to meet customers where they live and work,” said Jim Matera, Chief Retail Banking Officer at Apple Bank. “We are excited to begin serving Lakewood residents and businesses with the same personalized approach that has defined Apple Bank for over 160 years.”
To lead its new operations in Lakewood, Apple Bank has appointed John Crisafulli as Business Relationship Manager. A well-known figure in the local banking scene, Crisafulli brings over 25 years of experience, most recently with First Commerce Bank, where he served as Vice President and Senior Business Development Officer. Crisafulli has deep ties to the Lakewood community and will be responsible for building relationships with both individual and business customers.
“It’s an honor to help Apple Bank establish a presence in Lakewood,” said Crisafulli. “We are committed to providing the community with the full range of banking services—delivered with the personal attention and community spirit that Lakewood deserves.”
Apple Bank offers a full suite of consumer, small business, commercial, and investment services, emphasizing local expertise and a strong commitment to community engagement.
