President's Message
Since 1872, Walden Savings Bank has remained committed to serving our community, customers and employees and 2022 is no different. This year marks Walden Savings Bank’s 150th year in business and we could not have achieved this milestone without you - our loyal customers, many of whom have been banking with Walden Savings Bank for generations.
On April 25, 2022, Walden Savings Bank celebrated our 150th anniversary. As we reflect on our history, we pay homage to one of the bank’s prior taglines from 1925. When Walden Savings Bank was known as “The Bank with the Old Chime Clock.” This historic four-sided clock was a focal point in the Village of Walden and would chime each hour. Over the years, the clock was updated in the 1960’s then restored in 1992 to represent a replica of our original clock. However, the one thing missing from the latest rendition of the clock was the historic chime. Thus, I am excited to share that to commemorate our anniversary the clock will once again chime beginning on April 25, 2022!
Easily one of our most popular events, we will be offering several free community shred days throughout the year. For more details and the full schedule for 2022 be sure to visit here: Walden Savings Bank Community Shred Days.
Lastly, our Scott’s Corners Digital Branch Transformation is complete! If you’ve yet to explore the new Scott’s Corners Branch, we invite you to come visit us today. Here you will find the “WSB Café,” our digital discovery center and Walden Savings Bank’s “Virtual Branch of the Future, an innovative augmented reality experience. On Tuesday, April 26th, 2022 we partnered with the Orange County Chamber of Commerce to celebrate this newly renovated space with a Grand Re-Opening, Ribbon Cutting and Anniversary Ceremony.
We are happy to be celebrating our 150th anniversary this year and we will continue to share ways that our community, customers and employees can participate in our yearlong celebration! I look forward to sharing more updates with you as the year progresses. As always, it is our privilege to serve you and we are thankful for the opportunity to be the bank of choice in the communities we serve.
Sincerely,
President & C.E.O.
