Joining our community is easier than you might think.

If you live, work, go to school, worship, volunteer, or donate in New London or Windham County, you can become a member — it's that simple. When you open an account with us, we deposit a penny into your savings account... making you a member.

We believe good banking is about more than just accounts and interest rates — it's about understanding you. We take a holistic approach to banking by looking at your full financial picture, not just individual transactions. Whether you're saving for a first home, planning for retirement, building credit, or managing day-to-day expenses, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Our team is committed to helping you make informed decisions, offering personalized service, and delivering products that fit your life — not the other way around.
