Forget about automated messages, at the Easthampton Savings Bank, Stacy answers the phone. It’s that personal touch that has kept people coming back since the bank was first established in 1869.
On that first day of business, the Easthampton Savings Bank saw a grand total of $487.15 in deposits. These days this big, small-town bank is nearly a 700-million dollar operation with 7 branch locations throughout the area, over 150 employees, and a reputation for stewardship, excellence, and sponsorship.
You can often tell the integrity of a place by how long people have worked there and many employees at the Easthampton Savings Bank have called it home for 10, 20 and 30 years. With steady people behind him and an eye for the future, bank president and CEO William Hogan, knows how important his staff is to the bank’s success.
“We’re small enough to know our customers by name,” says Mr. Hogan, himself an employee for over 35 years. “We’re also quick to offer all the latest and greatest banking services and technologies…so, in effect, it’s the best of both worlds.”
Like any other business, banks grapple with balancing the budget while striving to provide the best possible product, especially if they hope to grow and compete in today’s marketplace. With branch locations in Northampton, Southampton, Hadley and South Hadley, and the most recent full-service branch that opened in January 2004 at 10 Turkey Hill in Belchertown, the Easthampton Savings Bank must be doing something right. Offering a full range of financial services including Mortgage and Home Equity Loans, Free Checking, Money Market and CD accounts, and a wide variety of investments through their Investment Services Division, the Easthampton Savings Bank continues to grow.
Even though the ‘shape of the yield curve’ keeps William Hogan up at night, his bank still finds time to nurture the community he values so much. With everything from a $400,000 contribution to the capital campaign at the Cooley Dickenson Hospital to ongoing support and sponsorship of organizations like the Commonwealth Opera in Northampton, the Easthampton Learning Foundation, the United Way, local after-school and literacy programs, Jessie’s House, little league sports like baseball, soccer, and much more, the Easthampton Savings Bank earns its stellar reputation day by day, season after season.
“This is home for us too,” Mr. Hogan explains. “And as a community bank, if we can improve the quality of life, for everyone, whether they’re customers or not, that benefits all of us here in the Pioneer Valley.”
With the main branch office located at 36 Main Street, the Easthampton Savings Bank offers all the latest in banking without sacrificing customer service. No small feat in an increasingly impersonal world of technology and automation. Give them a call today.
