Review of Machias savings bank

This is the best bank I've ever used and I've used...

This is the best bank I've ever used and I've used (Bank Of America, Citibank, and TD Bank).

Their customer service sets the bar for every bank. The tellers know you when you drive up!

MSB offered a program called, "small business college" that proved invaluable for me. I learned a lot in the sessions, but they also work with SBDC where I got one-on-one help to start my business. Through their programs I got thousands of dollars worth of professional advice for free!

Also, a man that works for me hadn't had a bank account - ever. He'd been in prison so he thought he couldn't get one because other banks wouldn't let him open an account. MSB let him open an account, showed him how to use the phone app. You'd be surprised how just having a bank account improved his self-esteem and helped him to stay on a good path.

MSB is a tremendous resource for our town. They have bought old antique buildings so that they can be saved for future. They also provide funds for all sorts of projects in the town from schools to landscaping.

We are really fortunate to have Machias Savings Bank.
