We know it’s likely a story you’ve heard before. Banker meets customer, and professional relationship ensues. But for us, that’s just the first few pages.
Our history of relationship banking could fill an entire book. That’s because at Waterford Bank, it’s not just about business. It’s about investing time in getting to know our customers as people. It’s about learning what works best for them and always being available when they need us. It’s about understanding that what goes on behind the scenes is just as important as what happens at the forefront. As we continue to write new chapters, we continue to reaffirm what we’ve always believed: our employees and the relationships they form are what set us apart.
