Our Story

The Power of Local isn't just where we are, it's why we're here


At Newtown Savings Bank, supporting local Connecticut communities is the heart of everything we do. We believe in putting our community and customers first, which is why we invited real customers with authentic stories to bring The Power of Local tagline to life. We interviewed them to hear about their personal experiences and gather their testimonials to use as our base for sharing our story.

The Power of Local is more than a tagline.  It's a promise


Over time, we've become more than just a bank, we are a trusted neighbor.  We pride ourselves on the close relationships we build, giving us the ability to offer products and services that closely match your individual needs and financial goals.

Giving more by giving back

We are involved in many local organizations and strive to make investments that go beyond the bank.  From organizing Bank-wide food drives to volunteering at the Newtown Labor Day Parade, as a local community bank we recognize the power of giving back, with our employees serving on numerous nonprofit boards and committees throughout the state of Connecticut.  
 
 
We're honored to have been given the 2018 Business of the Year Philanthropy Award by The Newtown Chamber of Commerce and Newtown Rotary, and we continue to live up to it by participating in local events, providing financial support by funding college scholarships, and giving back through countless community causes.
 
 
Bethel Food Drive

We partner with our local food pantries to feed those in need in our Connecticut communities.

We recognize the value of local non-profits, and support them as much as possible.

During our Annual Toys for Tots Drive, we collected and donated a truckload of gifts.
Day of Action

Employees spent the day volunteering at United Way's Day of Action.

We do this by taking the time to really get to know each customer, building close relationships and offering banking products and services that closely match individual needs, so we can stand alongside each of our customers in reaching their financial goals.
