OXFORD, Mass. — bankHometown was recently honored for overall quality and commitment to the community.
The bank earned several distinctions in the 2020 New England Banking Choice Awards, earning a spot among the top three banks in Massachusetts and top five banks in central/eastern Connecticut in Overall Quality, as well as among the top three banks in Community Contribution in its Connecticut region. The awards are presented annually by American Business Media, publishers of “Banking New England,” and are based on the results of the Rivel Banking Benchmarks, the largest and most comprehensive measure of banking customer experience in the world. The 2020 results are based on more than 17,000 interviews and nearly 500,000 reviews of more than 400 Massachusetts and Connecticut institutions.
The bank also was named an honoree by The Boston Business Journal in its annual 2020 Corporate Citizenship Awards, recognition of the region’s top corporate charitable contributors. The Business Journal annually publishes this list to showcase companies that promote and prioritize giving back to their communities. Companies qualify for the distinction by reporting at least $100,000 in cash contributions to Massachusetts-based charities and social-service nonprofits last year.
“We’re honored to be named among the best banks for quality and community commitment in New England, and then to be recognized among the most benevolent companies in Massachusetts is just icing on the cake,” said President and CEO Robert J. Morton. “Being here for our customers and giving back to our communities is what we’re all about.”
