A Modern Bank with More Resources for You

On October 1, 2025, we officially launched an updated name – Essex Bank – which replaces our previous name, Essex Savings Bank. The Essex Bank name defines our institution appropriately as a financial partner that is “so much more than a savings bank,” while presenting the products and people that help this community grow. Take a look at some highlights of the Essex Bank experience, and see the many ways we can support your goals.
