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.

“Never did the Waterford team attempt to fit us into any type of standard program or service because of the kind or size of business we presented as. They were able to tailor an account setup for us based on the diverse needs we have as a not-for-profit healthcare provider.”
“Waterford was instrumental in providing us with a LOC/term debt facility that allowed us to consolidate our operations and to continue to grow our core services to our client base. Additionally, our bankers provided us with assistance in connection with expanding our referral network in the middle market space and to develop new relationships with community leaders.”
“Waterford provides the capital necessary to do business right. Their customer-focused approach not only helps me but allows me to, in turn, focus on being customer-centric in my own business, creating a positive chain reaction.”
