President's Message

It’s hard to believe that 2020 is upon us and on behalf of everyone at Walden Savings Bank, we would like to thank you for a very successful 2019! From being voted "Best Bank" for the sixth straight year in the Times Herald-Record Reader's Choice Awards to earning your confidence with a 97.7% overall customer satisfaction rating, we are honored to have earned your loyalty and support. We truly appreciate you making Walden Savings Bank your bank of choice in the communities we serve and we’re excited to share several new happenings in the coming year.

• As we make our way through 2020, you will start to see some exciting changes taking place at our Scott’s Corners and Washingtonville offices. Both of these branches will be undergoing renovations, taking advantage of the latest in banking technology. Of course, you can still count on the same level of personal service you’ve come to expect from our team.

• Coming in 2020, we will be introducing an enhanced checking account suite that will also include a number of new benefits including debit card rewards.

• For customers in the Dutchess County market, our Beacon Lending Office is open for all your residential and commercial lending needs. Conveniently located in downtown Beacon, at 554 Main Street, Mortgage Originator, Christopher Karas is on hand Monday – Friday from 9:00am to 4:00pm and by appointment. Customers also have access to financial planning through Walden Investment Services at our Beacon location. Simply call us at 845-457-8250 to make your appointment today.

As a reminder, our customers have access to many different types of technology to make banking easier, more convenient and more secure. If you’ve yet to try these for yourself, I encourage you to try  Person to Person Payments, Self Service Functions such as online account opening and e-statement enrollment, Bank Wise- Personal Financial Management Dashboard and the Card Valet mobile app, that allows you to control how, when and where your debit card is used.
