For 175 years, Country Bank has been more than just a financial institution—we have been a steadfast partner to the communities we serve. Since our founding in 1850, we have grown from a small local institution into a $2 billion regional financial leader, evolving alongside the families, businesses, and organizations that define our success. This milestone is not just about longevity; it is a testament to the trust and relationships we have built over nearly two centuries.

At Country Bank, we believe in the power of personalized service. As a locally managed bank, we form genuine connections with our customers. We know you by name, understand your unique needs, and offer tailored solutions—whether advising on a small business loan or assisting your family in securing a first mortgage. Our personal touch ensures that every customer feels valued and important. We take pride in our local decision-making and unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional service.

Throughout our history, we have remained dedicated to innovation, customer service, and community impact. While the financial industry continues to evolve, we have embraced change without losing sight of what matters most—people. We have always prioritized a high-touch, relationship-driven approach while integrating technology and modern banking solutions to enhance convenience and efficiency for our customers.

Our strategic expansion in recent years underscores our dedication to growth and service. With new banking centers in Worcester and Uxbridge, and upcoming openings in Longmeadow and Springfield in 2025, we are extending our footprint while staying true to our mission to make a difference. These new locations will bring our total banking centers to 16 along with two business offices, further strengthening our role as a trusted financial partner throughout the region.

Our impact goes far beyond our banking center locations. We play a vital role in supporting small to medium-sized businesses, offering commercial lending and banking solutions that help entrepreneurs and business owners navigate financial challenges and seize new opportunities. From funding housing developments to providing critical lines of credit, our commitment to economic growth and stability is evident in every relationship we nurture. We are here to support you and your business, ensuring a secure and stable financial future.

Reflecting on our rich history, we remain dedicated to what lies ahead. With a solid foundation of trust, an unwavering commitment to our customers, and a vision for continued growth, we are well-positioned to make an even greater impact in the years to come. Through every chapter of our history, one principle has remained constant—our promise to be a bank that genuinely makes a difference.

Over the past ten years, we have donated more than $10 million to our local communities. This commitment has earned us recognition as one of the top 100 charitable organizations by the Boston Business Journal. This acknowledgment reflects the bank’s dedication to giving back and making a positive impact on the lives of those in need in the communities we serve.

This 175th anniversary is not just about us—it’s about you. It’s about the people, businesses, and communities that have made Country Bank the strong community bank it is today. Thank you for being a part of our journey. We could not have done it without you and your support.

– Mary C. McGovern, president and CEO
