Institution for Savings is widely recognized as one of the oldest and most stable mutual banks in the country, with assets totaling approximately $5 billion. With 15 retail and loan offices throughout the North Shore, it is the largest mutual savings bank on the North Shore of Massachusetts, offering great rates and a competitive menu of commercial and personal banking products and services. The Bank’s well-deserved reputation as community- minded is due in large part to its trustees, officers and employees who are active in their communities. As a mutual savings bank, the Institution for Savings has always believed in dedicating part of its assets toward making its communities better places in which to live and work. In the last five years, the Foundation collectively donated and pledged more than $15 million to community organizations and causes. Financial education is another key component of the Bank’s mission. The Bank offers comprehensive community-wide financial literacy programs to educate all ages on the importance of solid money management skills. The Bank has also been named a Boston Globe Top Place to Work for 16 consecutive years, and a Best Place to Work by Boston Business Journal for eight straight years. AMESBURY, MASSACHUSETTS
