Bringing banking institutions together to serve you.
Originally established in 2001 and the first of its kind in the state, the Connecticut Mutual Holding Company was formed to preserve the unique qualities of the member banks and their ability to better meet the needs of the communities in which they served.
Each affiliate bank retains its name and state charter and each bank’s Board of Directors and senior management staff oversee the operations of their respective banks. Independence of action, local decision making by each bank, and the preservation of a mutual form of governance are key attributes of this unique holding company structure.

With strength through affiliation, the combined resources of the holding company allows member better positioning to serve their customers with significantly greater loan capacity, leading edge products and services as well as enhanced technology-based delivery systems.
