If you live in Cincinnati, where I played professional football for the Bengals for 13 seasons, you may have seen me on local TV recently in a Union Savings Bank commercial. In it, I’m defending home buyers from the high closing costs, overinflated rates, and junk fees associated with many mortgage lenders—and promoting low costs, low rates, and a personal touch from Cincinnati-based Union Savings Bank. And believe me, I’m speaking from experience!

My wife DeDe and I moved to Cincinnati in 1980 when I was the Bengals’ first-round NLF draft pick. Coming from southern California, Ohio felt like another country. We didn’t know anyone or anything about the community that would eventually become our treasured, forever home.

Someone recommended we use Union Savings Bank to buy our first home. From early in my career to now, as a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Union Savings Bank continues to be my first choice when it comes to mortgage lending. A few years ago, the owners of the bank even invited me to serve on the bank’s board of directors and I happily accepted the invitation.

Like the Cincinnati Bengals, Union Savings Bank is a Cincinnati institution. It’s still locally owned and operated, although its formula for mortgage success has expanded. You’ll find branches in Dayton, Columbus, and Cleveland, Ohio, as well as in Indianapolis, southeastern Indiana, and Pittsburgh. Yes, they take good care of Steelers fans, too!

If you’re looking for a new home, reach out to a Union Savings Bank loan officer. I know they will take good care of you. Tell them Anthony sent you!
