Essex Savings Bank has once again earned the highest 5-Star rating for strength and stability from BauerFinancial, Inc. of Coral Gables, Fla., the nation’s leading independent bank rating and research firm. Bauer Financial has been reporting on and analyzing the performance of U.S. banks since 1983.
No institution can pay BauerFinancial to rate it, nor can an institution choose to be excluded. Essex Savings Bank has proven its commitment to superiority by earning this top rating for 71 consecutive quarters.
Fewer than 10% of the nation’s banks can claim this distinction. In order to do so, the Bank must have excelled in areas of capital adequacy, delinquent loan levels and profitability to name just a few.
Consistently earning BauerFinancial’s highest rating assures customers and the community that Essex Savings Bank is a strong financial institution that will be able to fulfill their banking needs for years to come.
