- Clifton Savings Bancorp Inc. (CSBK) is a savings and loan holding company that operates through its subsidiary, Clifton Savings Bank, a federally chartered savings bank headquartered in Clifton, New Jersey. Founded in 1928, the company provides community-oriented financial services to consumers and businesses primarily in northern New Jersey, including Bergen, Passaic, Essex, Morris, Hudson, and Union counties, through its main office and 11 branch locations. Clifton Savings Bank offers deposit products such as checking accounts, business checking, high-yield checking, passbook savings, statement savings, club accounts, certificates of deposit, and money market accounts; it originates and holds one- to four-family residential mortgages, multi-family residential loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, and consumer loans.
A wholly owned subsidiary, Botany Inc., supports investment activities. The bank attracts deposits from the general public and deploys funds into its loan portfolio for investment purposes. In a major strategic change, the company, formerly known as Clifton Savings Bancorp Inc., rebranded to Clifton Bancorp Inc. to reflect its evolving operations as a publicly traded entity following its 2014 mutual-to-stock conversion. It faced a proposed acquisition by Kearny Financial Corp. in 2018, which added significant branches and assets but ultimately integrated operations without delisting the ticker at that time; recent data as of 2025 indicates ongoing independent trading activity with quarterly earnings beats, such as $0.10 per share on $8.56 million revenue, and a dividend yield around 1.53%. No new partnerships, funding rounds, or expansions were reported in the last 1-2 years, maintaining focus on its core retail banking segments in the New Jersey market.
