Although never Jewish-owned, the Merchants Savings and Trust Company was one of the first banks in Pittsburgh to market directly to the Jewish community. The bank advertised in the local Jewish newspaper, provided financing for local synagogues, donated to local Jewish charities, and was patronized by Jewish customers throughout the Hill District and other parts of the city.
