Machias Savings Bank is, first and foremost, a community-based bank. And quite frankly, you can’t take the community out of what we do. Founded in 1869, our business has depended on individuals and organizations working together to build sustainable and thriving communities across Maine. By putting individuals in their first homes, lending to businesses, and keeping a watchful eye on savings, we’ve helped to enhance the places we call home each and every day. Today, with over $2.3 billion in assets, 300 employees, and 15 branches from Portland to Caribou, we are more committed than ever to moving Maine forward through financial health, one person, one business and one community at a time.
“For us to do what we do well, it helps that we have your cell phones. We are continuously expanding. We’re always renovating. There’s a constant discussion about things that we’re doing, but whatever we have needed, you’ve been there for us. We’ve had challenges and you’ve solved every one of them. Whenever you’re building things, people always ask if there will be a problem with your bank, and I tell them the only problem that there won’t be is with my bank! You have our back. You go the extra mile a thousand times over.”
