PROXY STATEMENT

Introduction

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Neffs Bancorp, Inc. on behalf of the Board of Directors, for the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This proxy statement and the related proxy form are being distributed on or about April 14, 2008.

Neffs Bancorp, Inc. will bear the expense of soliciting proxies. In addition to the use of the mail, directors, officers and employees of the corporation and its subsidiaries may, without additional compensation, solicit proxies.

The annual meeting of shareholders will be held on May 14, 2008, at 7:00 p.m. at the NOVA Building, 2375 Levans Road, Coplay, Pennsylvania. Shareholders of record at the close of business on March 31, 2008, are entitled to vote at the meeting.

At the meeting, shareholders will vote to:

	•		Elect 3 Class A directors each to serve for a three-year term.
	•		Ratify the selection of Beard Miller Company LLP as the corporation’s independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2008; and
	•		Transact any other business that may properly come before the meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the meeting.

Proxies and Voting Procedures

You can vote your shares by completing and returning a written proxy card. You can also vote in person at the meeting. Submitting your voting instructions by returning a proxy card will not affect your right to attend the meeting and vote, if you later decide to attend in person.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee which is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker how to vote and you are also invited to attend the meeting. However, because you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your street name shares in person at the meeting, unless you obtain a proxy executed in your favor, from the holder of record. Your broker or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker or nominee how to vote your shares.

By properly completing a proxy you appoint Ronald Miller as proxy holder and Ronald Gildner as alternate proxy holder to vote your shares, indicated on the proxy card. Any signed proxy card not specifying to the contrary will be voted FOR :

	•		Election of the nominees identified in this proxy statement; and
	•		Ratification of the selection of independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2008.

You may revoke your written proxy by delivering written notice of revocation to David C. Matulevich, Secretary, Neffs Bancorp, Inc., or by executing a later-dated proxy and giving written notice of the revocation to Mr. Matulevich at any time before the proxy is voted at the meeting. Proxy holders will

vote shares represented by proxies on the accompanying proxy, if properly signed and returned, in accordance with instructions of shareholders.

Although the Board of Directors knows of no other business to be presented, in the event that any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of management.

At the close of business on March 7, 2008, Neffs Bancorp, Inc had 190,317 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, issued and outstanding.

Quorum

A majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the conduct of business. Under Pennsylvania law and Neffs Bancorp, Inc.’s Bylaws, the presence of a quorum is required for each matter to be acted upon at the meeting. Votes withheld and abstentions are counted in determining the presence of a quorum for a particular matter. Broker non-votes are not counted in determining the presence of a quorum for a particular matter as to which the broker withheld authority. Each share is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. All matters to be voted upon by the shareholders require the affirmative vote of a majority of shares voted, in person or by proxy, at the annual meeting, except in the cases where the vote of a greater number of shares is required by law or under Neffs Bancorp, Inc.’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. In the case of the election of directors, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes are elected. Shareholders are not entitled to cumulate votes for the election of directors.

Assuming the presence of a quorum, the three nominees for director receiving the highest number of votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors will be elected. Votes withheld from a nominee and broker non-votes will not be cast for the nominee.

Assuming the presence of a quorum, the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast by shareholders is required for the ratification of the selection of independent accountants. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not deemed to constitute “votes cast” and, therefore, do not count either for or against ratification. Abstentions and broker non-votes, however, have the practical effect of reducing the number of affirmative votes required to achieve a majority for each matter by reducing the total number of shares voted from which the required majority is calculated.

GOVERNANCE OF THE CORPORATION

Our Board of Directors believes that the purpose of corporate governance is to ensure that we maximize shareholder value in a manner consistent with legal requirements and the highest standards of integrity. The Board of Directors has adopted and adheres to corporate governance practices, which the Board of Directors and senior management believe promote this purpose, are sound and represent best practices. We continually review these governance practices, Pennsylvania law (the state in which we are incorporated), and SEC regulations, as well as best practices suggested by recognized governance authorities.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of Neffs Bancorp, Inc. met 5 times during 2007. There were a total of 11 meetings of the various committees of the Board of Directors in 2007. While the corporation has no specified attendance policy, all directors attended at least 75% or more of the meetings of the Board of Directors and of the various committees on which they served. All elected Directors attended the 2007

Annual Meeting of Shareholders and we expect that they will all attend this year’s meeting. The Board of Directors has a majority of independent Directors, as defined by NASDAQ. The independent Directors are Robert B. Heintzelman, John F. Sharkey, Jr., John F. Simock, Mary Ann Wagner and Duane A. Schleicher.

The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee. In addition, the Board of Directors performs the functions of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee.

Compensation Committee

During 2007, the Board of Directors performed the function of a compensation committee. The Board of Directors believes it is not necessary to have a separate compensation committee since the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and all other executive officers of the corporation’s subsidiary is determined by a majority of independent directors. The Chief Executive Officer is not present during voting or deliberations on his compensation. The Board of Directors met once as the compensation committee in 2007.

Nominating Committee

During 2007, the Board of Directors performed the functions of the nominating committee. Nominees are selected by a majority of independent directors. The Board of Directors believes this process adequately performs the function of a nominating committee. Under our By-laws, nominations for director may be made only by the Board of Directors or a Board of Directors committee, or by a shareholder of record entitled to vote. Section 10.1 of the corporation’s bylaws requires a shareholder to deliver a notice of nomination for election to the Board of Directors to the Secretary no later than 60 days in advance of the anniversary date of the prior year’s shareholder meeting. For our annual meeting in the year 2009, we must receive this notice on or before March 14, 2009. You can obtain a copy of the full text of the By-law provision by writing to David C. Matulevich, Secretary, Neffs Bancorp, Inc., 5629 Route 873, Neffs, Pennsylvania 18065-0010. The Board of Directors met one time as the Nominating Committee in 2007.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee performs the duties set forth in its charter, which include reviewing significant audit and accounting principles, policies and practices, reviewing performance of internal auditing procedures, reviewing reports of examination received from regulatory authorities and recommending annually, to the Board of Directors, the engagement of an independent certified public accountant. Members of the Audit Committee during 2007 were Robert B. Heintzelman, Chairman, Mary Ann Wagner and John F. Sharkey, Jr. The Audit Committee met four times during 2007.

The Board of Directors has determined that John F. Sharkey, Jr. is an audit committee financial expert. The committee has the authority to engage legal counsel, consultants or other experts, as it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. Throughout 2007, the Audit Committee has consulted with legal counsel.

Shareholder Communications

The Board of Directors does not have a formal process for shareholders to send communications to the Board of Directors. Due to the infrequency of shareholder communications to the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors does not believe that a formal process is necessary.

Submission of Shareholder Proposals

If a shareholder wants us to include a proposal in our proxy statement for presentation at our 2009 annual meeting of shareholders, the proposal must be addressed to and received by the Secretary/Assistant Secretary at our principal executive offices at 5629 Route 873, P.O. Box 10, Neffs, Pennsylvania 18065-0010 no later than December 15, 2008.

We are not required to include any proposal received after December 15, 2008 in our proxy materials for the 2009 annual meeting.

Code of Ethics

Since 2003, we have had a Code of Ethics. Our Code of Ethics is applicable to our directors, officers and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers. The Code of Ethics encourages individuals to report any conduct that they believe in good faith to be an actual or apparent violation of the Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors periodically receives reports on our compliance program. Any shareholder can request a copy of the Code of Ethics, free of charge, by writing to David C. Matulevich, Secretary, at 5629 Route 873, P.O. Box 10, Neffs, Pennsylvania 18065-0010. We also filed a copy of the Code of Ethics with the SEC as an exhibit to our December 31, 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which can be accessed from the Neffs Bancorp, Inc. portion of our website, www.neffsnatl.com.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Section10.2 of the Neffs Bancorp, Inc. Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors consists of not less then five or more than twenty five persons. The Board of Directors is also divided into three classes. Each class consists, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the directors. The bylaws also provide that the directors of each class are elected for a term of three years, so that the term of office of one class of directors expires at the annual meeting each year. The Board of Directors determines the number of directors in each class.

A majority of the Board of Directors may increase the number of directors between meetings of the shareholders. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, whether due to an increase in the number of directors, resignation, retirement, death, or any other reason, may be filled by appointment by the remaining directors. Any director who is appointed to fill a vacancy holds office until the expiration of the term of office of the class of directors to which he was appointed.

The Board of Directors has fixed the number of directors at eight. There are three nominees for the Board of Directors for election at the 2008 Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors has nominated the following three persons for election to the Board of Directors for the terms specified:

Nominees for Class A Directors
For a Term of Three Years

John J. Remaley
Herman P. Snyder
John F. Sharkey, Jr.

The Board of Directors endeavors to act in the best interest of the corporation’s shareholders in nominating potential candidates for directorship. The directors will review the candidate’s education, work experience, general business knowledge, community involvement, and overall integrity prior to

nomination. Mr. Remaley and Mr. Snyder currently serve as elected members of the Board of Directors.  Mr. Sharkey serves as an appointed member of the Board of Directors.  Upon evaluation of their business knowledge and work ethics, the Board of Directors as a whole recommends the election of Mr. Remaley, Mr. Snyder and Mr. Sharkey.

In the event that any of the nominees are unable to accept nomination or election, proxy holders will vote proxies given pursuant to this solicitation in favor of other persons recommended by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of its nominees will be unable to serve as a director if elected.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The corporation’s Board of Directors governs the corporation and its subsidiary. In fulfilling its fiduciary duties, the Board of Directors endeavors to act in the best interests of the corporation’s shareholders, customers, and the communities served by the corporation and its subsidiary. To accomplish the corporation’s strategic goals and objectives, the Board of Directors engages competent persons, who undertake to accomplish these objectives with integrity and with cost-effectiveness. The board of directors fulfills part of its strategic mission through the compensation of these individuals. The bank, the corporation’s wholly-owned financial subsidiary, provides compensation to the corporation’s and the bank’s directors, officers, and employees.

The corporation seeks to offer competitive compensation opportunities for all employees based on the individual’s contribution and personal performance. The entire Board of Directors administers the compensation program. The Board of Directors seeks to establish a fair compensation policy to govern the executive officers’ base salaries and incentive plans to attract and motivate competent, dedicated, and ambitious managers, whose efforts will enhance the corporation’s products and services and will result in improved profitability, increased dividends to the shareholders, and subsequent appreciation in the market value of the corporation’s shares.

General labor market conditions, the individual’s specific responsibilities and the individual’s contributions to the corporation’s success influence total compensation opportunities available to the corporation’s and the bank’s employees. The Board of Directors reviews individuals annually and strives to offer compensation that is competitive with that offered by employers of comparable size in our industry. Through these compensation policies, the corporation strives to meet its strategic goals and objectives to its constituencies and provide compensation that is fair and meaningful to its executive officers.

The primary element of executive compensation is base salary. The Board of Directors reviews and annually approves the compensation of the corporation’s and the bank’s top executives, including the chief executive officer/executive vice president and the chief operating officer. The Board of Directors determines compensation increases based on its subjective analysis of the individual’s contribution to the corporation’s strategic goals and objectives. In determining whether the strategic goals have been achieved; the Board of Directors considers numerous factors including the following: the corporation’s performance as measured by earnings, revenues, return on assets, return on equity, market share, total assets and non-performing loans. Although the Board of Directors measures the performance and increases in compensation in light of these factors, no direct correlation exists between any specific criteria and an employee’s compensation, nor does the Board of Directors, in its analysis, attribute a particular weight to any specific criteria. The Board of Directors makes a subjective determination after review of all relevant information, including the above.

In addition to base salary, the bank’s executive officers may participate in annual and long-term incentive plans including the bank’s Employee Profit Sharing and Retirement Trust Fund.

The Board of Directors does not deem Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the IRC) to be applicable to the corporation at this time. The Board of Directors intends to monitor the future application of IRC Section 162(m) to the compensation paid to its executive officers; in the event that this section becomes applicable, the Board of Directors intends to amend the corporation’s and the bank’s compensation policies to preserve the deductibility of the compensation payable under the policies.

Employee Profit Sharing and Retirement Trust Fund Plan

The bank maintains and sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) savings and investment plan. The plan is administered by the bank and is subject to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and to the regulations promulgated thereunder. Participants are entitled to certain rights and protection under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Each bank employee who attains the age of 18, successfully completes any probationary period(s) and completes 1,000 hours of service per year may participate in the bonus (other than year-end bonus), or other direct remuneration to the plan. Generally, eligible employees may not contribute more than 15% of their compensation. Each year, the bank determines the amount, if any, which it will contribute to the plan. The bank’s contributions to the 401(k) plan for each participant vest in 5 to 6 years from plan

enrollment. The employee’s contribution to the 401(k) plan vest immediately. The bank incurred expenses of $58,000.00, $59,000.00 and $64,000.00 for financial reporting purposes during 2007, 2006, and 2005 respectively, in connection with the plan.

Transactions with Directors and Executive Officers

All loans and loan commitments made to them and to their companies were made in the ordinary course of bank business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, collateral and repayment terms, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other customers of the bank, and did not involve more than a normal risk of collectiblity or present other unfavorable features.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is comprised of directors who meet NASDAQ standards for independence. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which was reviewed and revised in 2003. A link to the Charter can be found on the Bank’s website at www.neffsnatl.com.

The Audit Committee met with management periodically during the year to consider the adequacy of the corporation’s internal controls and the objectivity of its financial reporting. The Audit Committee discussed these matters with the corporation’s independent auditors and with appropriate corporation financial personnel and internal auditors. The Audit Committee also discussed with the corporation’s senior management and independent auditors the process used for certifications by the corporation’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer which are required for certain of the corporation’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Audit Committee met privately at its regular meetings with both the independent auditors and the internal auditors, as well as with the principal financial officer on a number of occasions, each of whom has unrestricted access to the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee recommended Beard Miller Company LLP as the independent auditors for the corporation after reviewing the firm’s performance and independence from management.

The Board of Director’s has determined that John F. Sharkey, Jr., who is independent, is an audit committee financial expert.

Management has primary responsibility for the corporation’s financial statements and the overall reporting process, including the corporation’s system of internal controls.

The independent auditors audited the annual financial statements prepared by management, expressed an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the corporation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and discussed with the Audit Committee any issues they believe should be raised with the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee reviewed with management and Beard Miller Company LLP, the corporation’s independent auditors, the corporation’s audited financial statements and met separately with both management and Beard Miller Company LLP to discuss and review those financial statements and reports prior to issuance. Management has represented, and Beard Miller Company LLP has confirmed, to the Audit Committee, that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Audit Committee received from and discussed with Beard Miller Company LLP the written disclosure and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees). These items relate to that firm’s independence from the corporation. The Audit Committee also discussed with Beard Miller Company LLP matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees) of the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to the extent applicable. The Audit committee implemented a procedure to monitor accountant independence, reviewed audit and non-audit services performed by Beard Miller Company LLP and discussed with the accountants their independence.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors has approved that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Committee and the Board of Directors have also recommended, subject to shareholder ratification, the selection of Beard Miller Company LLP as Neffs Bancorp, Inc.’s independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2008.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the auditor independence rules of the United Sates Securities and Exchange Commission require all public accounting firms who audit issuers to obtain pre-approval from their respective Audit Committee in order to provide professional services without impairing independence. Beard Miller Company LLP previously issued engagement letters to or obtained formal approval from the Audit Committee for certain services. These services are summarized below.

The following fees were incurred for 2007 and 2006:

		Year Ended December 31
		2007				2006
Audit fees 1		$	53,273			$	50,779
Audit related fees 2			512				641
Tax fees			—				—
All other fees			—				—
Total:		$	53,785			$	51,420

The Audit Committee has considered whether, and determined that, the provision of the non-audit services is compatible with maintaining Beard Miller Company LLP’s independence.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL
OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 requires Neffs Bancorp, Inc.’s directors, executive officers and shareholders who beneficially own more than 10% of Neffs Bancorp, Inc.’s outstanding equity stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of Neffs Bancorp, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on a review of copies of the reports we received, and on the statements of the reporting persons, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements were complied with in a timely fashion during 2007 except for one Form 4 for John F. Sharkey, Jr. that was inadvertently filed late.

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit Committee has recommended and the Board of Directors has selected Beard Miller Company LLP as independent auditors for the examination of its financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. Beard Miller Company LLP served as the corporation’s independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Beard Miller Company LLP has advised us that neither the firm nor any of its associates has any relationship with the corporation or its subsidiaries other than the usual relationship that exists between independent auditors and clients.

We expect a representative of Beard Miller Company LLP to be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make a statement if the representative desires to do so.

The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote FOR ratification of the selection of Beard Miller Company LLP as independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.
