Finally a community bank with real statewide reach
In the business world larger usually goes hand-in-hand with less personal, so it is refreshing to have a financial institution which continues its traditions as a true community bank while continuing to expand to cover the whole of Maine-Bangor Savings Bank is just such a bank.
Wilma Bradford, a longtime customer said, “I’ve been banking with Bangor Savings Bank for over 50 years. That’s a long time in my mind! Everyone I’ve ever dealt with at the Bank has made me feel like I’m important to them … and special. Just the way it ought to be!” With the recent mergers or acquisitions of a number of Maine’s banks as well as the turmoil in the financial sector in general it is easy to think that all banks are the same. As with most things there is usually an exception to the rule and Bangor Savings would seem to be that exception.
In the words of Bangor Savings President and CEO, James Conlon, “Bangor Savings Bank remains strong, secure, and independent. Our strength comes from our unwavering focus on our customers, employees, and the communities we serve”. He adds, “With Maine’s economy, businesses, and households facing financial stress, our customers need our strength more than ever. We continue to work hard every day to understand our customers’ circumstances and needs and to respond with the insight, real solutions, and practical financial advice that can only come from a trusted local advisor.”
Bangor Savings has taken their involvement in the communities they serve to the streets through their charitable giving with over $1 million committed to community groups and activities across the state last year, through initiatives like Community Matters More and their Chase Away the Chill home heating assistance program.
So if you are looking for a new bank, or are just tired with the changes that other banks are making to their fees or the fact that the decisions about your relationship are no longer made locally, you should certainly consider Bangor Savings Bank – a local bank with over 150 years’ of serving Maine’s financial needs.
Houlton’s Bangor Savings Bank is located at 38 Court Street or call 532-4001 for more information.
