Bank History

The Winchester Savings Bank was established by the Massachusetts Legislature and incorporated on March 3, 1871. The first meeting of the Corporators was held in Lyceum Hall (the building at the corner of Main and Mt. Vernon Streets in Winchester) on July 11, 1871. The Bank first opened its doors for business on August 26, 1871, in a banking room on the north side of Main Street.

In 1880, the Bank moved to the second floor of the Brown and Stanton Block on Main Street, and remained there until 1892 when it moved into its newly constructed building at 26 Mt. Vernon Street. This building still stands today and is regarded as a historical building by the Winchester Historical Society. The Bank's main office was moved on December 10, 1979 to its present location at 661 Main Street. Since its founding in 1871, the Bank has grown into a full-service financial institution.

The Bank is an independent, mutual, state-chartered institution with a mission of meeting the financial needs of the communities which it serves. The Bank is directed by a Board of Trustees elected by the Bank's Corporators, a group of civic-minded, local individuals. Since the Bank is mutual, all profits from operations are reinvested in the Bank.

In 2012, Winchester Savings introduced a new logo that represents the three core values the Bank strives to embrace every day… Strength. Service. Community.

All deposits are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Depositors Insurance Fund (DIF). The Bank is an equal housing lender.

President's Message

Segerstrom For much of the past year, the Bank continued to work through pandemic-related issues, always with a focus on employee and customer safety. It seems that almost everything has been impacted, from staffing to facilities to sales efforts to customer service. While every organization has faced challenges, we are so proud of our crew of immensely dedicated employees who proved time and time again that we care deeply about our community, our customers, and each other. Growth on both sides of the balance sheet is evidence that we continue to successfully navigate whatever comes our way.

2021 was a year of exciting milestones for Winchester Savings Bank. We celebrated 150 years as a local, independent bank. We also recognized the amazing tenure of Peter J. Segerstrom, President & CEO for 33 years and faithful employee even longer than that. His retirement was a watershed moment for the Bank, and I am honored to take up the reins and guide us into the next 150 years.

I see a great future for Winchester Savings Bank. Our team is talented, disciplined, and motivated, and we are building on the tremendous foundation already in place. We are excited to show what we can do.

As always, we are proud to be a local bank with a strong financial foundation, a tradition of exceptional service and a legacy of community involvement and support.
