Philadelphia Saving Fund Society
The Philadelphia Saving Fund Society (PSFS) is a financial institution founded in 1816 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was established to promote savings among the public and to provide a safe place for individuals to deposit their money. PSFS was one of the first savings banks in the United States and played a significant role in the development of the savings bank movement.
Over the years, PSFS expanded its services to include various banking products, such as loans and mortgages. The society is known for its iconic PSFS Building, which was completed in 1932 and is a notable example of Art Deco architecture. Today, PSFS continues to operate, focusing on community banking and financial services.
