Who We Are
Guaranty Bank is a fourth generation, family owned company. Founded in 1923 during the Great Depression by Joseph Saffro, its one small office in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin offered just mortgages and savings accounts. It survived the lean years of the twenties and began growing in the 1930s.
At that time Joseph's son Samuel joined the business. Over the next 25 years, Guaranty Bank evolved into a full service bank with expanded products and services. Joseph and Samuel's vision grew as other family members joined the management team. Today, Samuel's son-in-law, Gerald Levy (Jerry) is president of Guaranty Bank. Samuel's grandchildren also hold key positions in the Bank…it remains a family business.
