President's Message

At Walden Savings Bank, we are delighted to share in the joy of this uplifting time with you, our cherished community. Just as flowers bloom and days lengthen, our commitment to serving you grows stronger. At Walden Savings Bank, we have products, services, digital solutions and accounts for everyone—from Checking Accounts to Savings, Mortgages, Loans, Business Services, and Financial Planning Services with Walden Investment Services*, we are here for you.
Whether you're managing your daily finances, planning for a new home, growing your business, or securing your financial future, we have you covered. Our comprehensive range of services is designed to meet your unique needs and provide you with the tools and support to achieve your financial goals.
As we look forward to what 2024 has in store for us, we are thrilled to announce that our Community Champion program will continue in 2024. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to making a positive impact in the communities we serve. In 2020, our partnership with Energy 103 created the “Community Champion” program as a way to highlight members of our community who volunteer and selflessly help others. We are accepting nominations not only for local volunteers but also for entire organizations doing great work in our community. Walden Savings Bank will then award selected champions $1,000 to the affiliated non-profit organization. If you know someone who volunteers locally or a community organization doing great things in our community nominate them today for consideration and learn more about the recent Community Champions by visiting us at waldensavings.bank/communitychampion. Together, we can create meaningful change and contribute to the well-being of our community and neighborhoods.
Next, always one of our most popular events, we will be offering several free community shred days throughout the year. Our first shred day will be held at our Scott’s Corners Branch on Saturday, April 27th from 10:00AM to 1:00PM. For more details and the full 2024 schedule be sure to visit us at waldensavings.bank/communityshreddays2024.
As always, it is our privilege to serve you, and we are thankful to be your bank of choice in the Hudson Valley.
Sincerely,
President & CEO
