President's Message

I hope everyone is having an enjoyable summer! This time of year remains busy for the Walden Savings Bank team and we are excited to provide you with some updates.

  • We are happy to share that Walden Savings Bank has been voted “Best Bank” for the 6th year in a row in the Times Herald Record Readers’ Choice Awards! Walden Savings was also selected as a winner in the categories for Mortgage Company, Overall Employer and Financial Planning (Walden Investment Services). We are very appreciative of your support and you can count on us to continue to earn your vote every day.

  • One of the most popular services offered since 2014 has been Instant Issue Debit Cards at select branches. Customers have enjoyed having the ability to come into their local branch and have a debit card instantly created. We are excited to share that this service will soon be expanded to all Walden Savings Bank branch locations! Stay tuned for more details as we rollout this service over the upcoming months.

  • Ensure that your debit card has the latest in convenience and security. If you have not yet enrolled in CardValet or activated our new Mobile Wallet - now is the perfect time to activate these services. Drop by any branch or call the contact center at 1-845-457-7700 to learn more.

  • If your summer plans include travelling, don’t forget that Walden Savings Bank can help. Our customers can purchase or redeem over 60 different currencies through our Foreign Currency Program in addition to having access to more the 55,000 surcharge free ATMs around the world.

Once again, thank you to all who voted in the Times Herald Records Readers’ Choice Awards this year. If you have not yet joined the Walden Savings Bank family, I invite you to give us a try. We remain dedicated to providing exceptional service and financial solutions to both personal and business customers while supporting the charitable activities in our community.
