Company Overview

1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, Inc. (NASDAQ: BCOW) is the bank holding company for PyraMax Bank, FSB, a Wisconsin-based community financial institution primarily focused on retail and commercial banking services. The company operates within the regional banking and financial services industry, generating most of its revenue through net interest income derived from residential mortgage lending, commercial real estate lending, construction lending, consumer loans, and deposit-related banking activities. Additional revenue is generated from service charges, mortgage banking activity, and other banking-related fees.

The company traces its origins to 1895 through the predecessor institution that ultimately became PyraMax Bank. Following a mutual holding company reorganization and stock offering, 1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin became the publicly traded parent entity. The institution has positioned itself as a locally focused community bank serving individuals, families, and small-to-medium-sized businesses in southeastern Wisconsin. Its strategic emphasis has historically centered on relationship banking, localized market knowledge, and community-oriented financial services rather than large-scale national banking operations.
