The Ulster County Savings Institution was chartered by the New York State legislature on April 12, 1851, with the first meeting of the incorporators occurring on May 1.[3]
After 40 years in business, the bank faced a crisis in 1891 when its treasurer and assistant treasurer were accused of stealing more than $400,000, resulting in a temporary closure.[4] Both received prison sentences as a result of their actions, and the bank reopened.[5]
In September 2011, Lisa Marie Cathie was named the new President & CEO of the bank, succeeding Marjorie Rovereto.[1]
Branches are currently located in Gardiner, Kingston, New Paltz, Phoenicia, Poughkeepsie, Red Hook, Saugerties, Stone Ridge, Wappingers Falls, Windham, and Woodstock.[6]
