We’re Celebrating!

125 Years of Using Business as Force for Good

On February 2, 1899, the New Hampshire State Legislature granted the charter for a new bank in Lebanon, New Hampshire – Mascoma Savings Bank. It was a mutual savings bank, governed by a board of Incorporators who, from their ranks, elected a board of Trustees. The Incorporators would serve as the eyes and ears of the community – making sure the bank truly served the people and stayed true to its promises.

Today, Mascoma Bank has 27 branches and more than 400 team members who oversee nearly 3 billion dollars in assets. The bank is still a mutual bank, but now, it’s one of the very small percentage of banks in the United States that is also a Certified B Corp, and we are ready to celebrate 125 years of using business as a force for good.
