We made the decision to put our customers first 150 years ago—and we’ve never looked back. We did it by becoming a mutual savings bank. By making our customers more than a promise, by making them our owners.

A banking relationship is built on trust. And, we take that trust very seriously. We promise to share everything with our customers. Because, when it comes to money, future, and security, there’s no such thing as overly honest.

We work hard to know our customers better than any other financial institution, so that we can ensure that our products and services are the perfect fit for their needs. That means evolving as their needs evolve.

Relationships Above AllDropdown icon

No fee, no detail, and certainly nobody’s ego is worth more to us than our relationship with our customers. We want the banking experience to be a positive one, and we work hard to make that happen.

Local DecisionsDropdown icon

Here in Maine, the vast majority of our neighbors, families and friends depend on local businesses for their jobs. Which is why it’s so important that we do everything we can to help our local businesses.

Giving BackDropdown icon

We don’t do it for the PR. We don’t even do it because our company encourages us to. We do it because we want to. Because we live here. And we know and care about the other people who live here, too.

ResourcefulnessDropdown icon

We know that financial know-how is just one way we can help.

We want our customers to think of us as a place they can go for advice they can trust. That means going the extra mile to find the right answer, whether that’s the best loan rates, or the number for a great handyman.

Being FairDropdown icon
