Washington Savings Bank is a mid-sized regional bank based in Effingham, Illinois, operating within the banking sector with a focus on home lending. Its origins date to 1883 when a group formed an association to help members purchase homes, beginning as The Washington Loan and Building Association before evolving into Washington Savings Bank after several name changes and gaining federal insurance in 1958. Over the years it expanded its footprint with multiple branches, including a 2010 Effingham location and a 2015 Mattoon location. Today it is the second oldest bank in Effingham County and the largest home mortgage lender in the area, offering mortgage financing and standard banking services to local customers. In October 2025, Washington Savings Bank announced a partnership with Effingham United Way, reflecting ongoing involvement in local community initiatives.
