“I am the new owner of Interskate 91 in Wilbraham, although the rink has been here for much longer. We have been a customer at Country Bank for over 12 years, and they have been instrumental in the purchase of the business and handling all our banking needs. The staff is wonderful and friendly, great for small businesses like ours. We are happy to call them one of our local business partners.”

“As a locally owned and fully insured Massachusetts-licensed company, we specialize in oil burner repairs, installations, and mini-split systems. Being a small business owner has given me the freedom to raise my family while supporting our community and serving the residents in our town.”
“Chenier’s Gravel Bank is a small, family-owned business located in Ludlow, operating in the field of sand, gravel and landscaping materials since the 1950’s. We have been customers of Country Bank since they made their presence here in Ludlow. . .the courtesy and professionalism lends itself to a high level of confidence in the staff. This, coupled with the staff’s ability to really know you, and your business, is what makes doing business with Country Bank a pleasure.
Over the years, we have developed a community of customers who rely on the quality and integrity of the products we create and sell. We stand by our products, and it’s nice to have a bank that stands behind us.”

“TW Tree Care, located in Paxton , MA, specializes in tree care, including precision pruning, tree removal, trimming, cabling, and hazardous tree management.

Their commitment to helping my business succeed has been invaluable.”

“I moved my small business to the local area in 1996 and signed on with Country Bank upon my arrival. CB’s services have been top shelf, every time, for all of these years. Though they are certainly excellent with all of the technical aspects of banking, (e.g., loans, lines of credit, account access, etc.), that pales in comparison to the actual customer service and human interaction. The team at CB are awesome to work with. Whether in the branch or on the phone, they’re the best! They are always pleasant and kind, very quick with their service, and extremely professional. I cannot count how many times their team has gone out of their way to help me in difficult situations. I truly believe that they are the best bank in the area and I consider it my banking home. I highly recommend them.”
Thom Fiorini

Country Bank has been there to support our growth and connection to the town since day one.”

Their commitment to understanding our unique needs has played a crucial role in our growth and success. We highly recommend Country Bank to any small business looking for a reliable and supportive financial partner.”

As the founder of Pawsitively 4 Pink, a nonprofit supporting underserved women battling breast cancer, I am continuously inspired by Country Bank’s commitment to our community. Their dedication goes beyond transactions—they truly believe in our mission and have shown unwavering support through generous sponsorships, donations, and even organizing dress-down Fridays for employees to rally around our cause. Country Bank’s purposeful approach and community-driven values make them more than just a bank; they are genuine partners in making a positive impact. We couldn’t be more pleased to work alongside a bank that is truly driven by purpose.”

“As a real estate agent, I know how important it is to work with a bank that understands the unique challenges and needs of my industry. Country Bank has been that perfect partner. Whether I’m talking with Nate, the branch manager about the handling of complex transactions, or just stopping by, he’s always ready to help with expert knowledge and a friendly approach. Walking into Country Bank is truly like walking into my own home—all of the tellers greet me with warm smiles, and I feel a genuine sense of care and welcome each time.

“Our farm, nestled in a rural farming community, offers customers a nostalgic start to the holiday season. Traditions like cutting your own tree from the field and enjoying picturesque views evoke the charm of a classic Currier and Ives scene. Families come to make cherished memories, returning year after year—some even bringing their grandchildren after decades of visits. It’s a special experience, especially during this magical time of year. Country Bank has supported us from the very beginning, helping meet our financial needs as we grew into the business we are today.”

“For 30 years we have held our personal account with Country Bank and when it came time to establish our business banking account, we had no doubts about our choice of bank. It was essential for us to partner with a local institution that we could trust—one that recognizes us as more than just another account. During a recent issue with a vendor, Country Bank went above and beyond by thoroughly examining spreadsheets with me to resolve a problem that was not even on our end, but for which I needed clarity. Their willingness to assist, despite it not being their obligation, exemplifies the type of partnership I seek in a business relationship.”
