As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 20, 2005
(the "Initial Filing"), on January 19, 2005, the board of directors of
Interchange Financial Services Corporation (the "Company") declared, among other
things, a 3-for-2 stock split (the "Stock Split"). The Stock Split also
increased the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company. This
Amendment No. 1 amends the Initial Filing to include the information required by
Item 5.03 of Form 8-K.

Item 5.03.   Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
             Year.

On January 18, 2005, the Company's board of directors approved the following
amendment to the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended to
date (the "Articles of Incorporation"), to be effective as of 12:01 a.m. on
February 18, 2005 to increase the number of authorized shares of the Corporation
from 22,500,000 to 33,750,000. A certificate of amendment to the certificate of
incorporation of the Company was filed with the Secretary of State of the State
of New Jersey on May 18, 2005. A copy of the Company's restated Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

To increase the number of authorized shares of the Corporation from 22,500,000
to 33,750,000, Article V of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation is
amended to delete the first paragraph thereof and replace it with a paragraph
reading as follows:

                                   "ARTICLE V
                                  CAPITAL STOCK

          The  Corporation  is authorized to issue  33,750,000  shares of common
          stock,  all of which are without nominal or par value, as the Board of
          Directors may determine.  The  Corporation is also authorized to issue
          1,000,000  shares of preferred stock, all of which are without nominal
          or par value, as the Board of Directors may determine."
