Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Public File

The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) of 1977 encourages banks to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they do business, including low-and moderate-income neighborhoods.  At Watertown Savings Bank, we're
committed to serving our communities, and the individuals they encompass through financial support, enrichment, and philanthropic ventures.
 
We’re proud to continue a CRA rating of "Satisfactory" from the FDIC in our most recent Performance Evaluation.
