Exhibit 99.1

Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. Reports Continued Record Earnings
and Record Assets

August 5, 2011

Fort Lee, NJ – Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. (NYSE-AMEX: BKJ), the holding company of Bank of New Jersey, reported another consecutive increase in quarterly net income. Net income for the second quarter of 2011 reached $812 thousand compared to net income of $524 thousand in the second quarter of 2010. This represents a 55.0% increase in net income, or $288 thousand. Earnings per diluted share reached $0.16 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $0.10 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2010. Net income for the first six months of 2011 exceeded $1.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share in 2010. The net income generated during this quarter represents the eighteenth consecutive quarter of profitability.

During the second quarter of 2011, net interest income increased by 20.9%, or approximately $650 thousand, to $3.8 million from $3.1 in the second quarter of 2010. During the first half of 2011, net interest income reached $7.4 million, reflecting a 20.2% increase from $6.1 million in the first six months of 2010. The increased net interest income is primarily due to higher average loans, the result of increased loan production during the first half of 2011. During the second quarter of 2011, non-interest expense increased 18.7%, or $355 thousand, to $2.3 million, compared to $1.9 million during the second quarter of 2010. Non-interest expense in the first half of 2011 reflected an increase of approximately $436 thousand, or 11.5%, to $4.2 million from $3.8 million in the first half of 2010. The increase in non-interest expense is, primarily, due to increases in salaries and benefits and professional fees of $164 thousand and $82 thousand, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the provision for loan losses was $212 thousand, compared to provision for loan losses of $384 thousand, for the three months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the provision for loan losses was $598 thousand, compared to provision for loan losses of $654 thousand, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. These decreases in provision for loan losses reflect the credit quality of the loan portfolio and a stabilization of the non-performing loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company sold its only other real estate owned property resulting in a $203 thousand loss.

Bancorp of New Jersey’s total assets reached $403.3 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $370.3 million at December 31, 2010. Total loans reached $334.7 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $302.1 million at December 31, 2010, representing an increase of $32.6 million, or 10.8%. Total deposits increased to $349.9 million at June 30, 2011 from $318.4 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $31.5 million, or 9.9%. Stockholder’s equity grew to $52.0 million at June 30, 2011, from $50.1 million at December 31, 2010.
