The word "pioneer" always makes me think of covered wagons, the Great Plains, and Westward Expansion; The Pioneer Savings Bank couldn’t be further from that description. Founded in 1922, the original name was Roumanian Savings and Loan (yes, Roumanian), created by and for immigrant Romanians, and was located in the heart of the West Side Romanian community in Cleveland. The name was changed to The Pioneer Savings Bank in 1990 and the Bank soon became known as “PSB” to the locals. PSB has continued to serve the West Side community as the neighborhood has transformed into a vibrant arts district.
