History

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.

“Waterford was crucial to my business growth. Early on, it might have been difficult to get the kind of equipment and real estate lending from a large bank. Waterford was able to provide the  lending I needed to grow my business without jumping through a bunch of hoops.”

“The difference that we’ve found at Waterford compared to other banks that we’ve worked with is the professionalism and commitment of everyone we’ve met there. They seem to truly care, and we receive the ‘white glove’ treatment. We like the fact that they are a local bank and that the service is very personable. It’s comforting to know that real people are keeping an eye out for our accounts to keep them safe and get us the best rates possible.”

Donna and Francis Glinka

“My family has been with Waterford for years now, starting as our financial partner for our company. After seeing how they treated the complexities of our business finances with unmatched customer service, it was an easy decision to transition our personal banking accounts to them as well.”
