History
On June 1, 1872, Monson Savings Bank began business transactions out of the Monson National Bank office. Not only did the two banks share the same building, they shared the same vault, till, counter, and personnel. At the end of its first month of operation, the new Monson Savings Bank had $12,994.23 on deposit, and total real estate loans of $2,250. Cash on hand was $2,531.43. On June 1, 1893, Monson Savings Bank got its own brand new building. This new building, which is now known as our Monson Office, separated the savings and commercial banks. The bank was remodeled in 1965 and in 1985 the building was extended to the rear creating two floors of office space and the drive-up teller. In June of 1997, 125 years after it opened, Monson Savings Bank reached a banking milestone when our assets reached $100 million. On August 1, 1998 we opened our first branch location in the neighboring town of Hampden.
