Why Banking Local Matters 

Other banks come and go. Since 1887, BankGloucester has been committed to our North Shore neighbors—helping people and businesses thrive for generations. We’re deeply rooted in this community, and we’re here to stay.

When you bank local, your money stays local. That means supporting small businesses, investing in our neighborhoods, and giving back to the community we all share. That’s the difference of banking with a mutual bank, a bank that belongs to its customers .

Banking That Puts People First

At BankGloucester, we believe banking is about people—not just numbers. For nearly 140 years, we’ve stood by our neighbors with the financial tools, stability, and personal attention they deserve. Whether you’re saving for the future, buying a home, or growing a business, we’re here with solutions that work for you. Like our high-interest Elite Reward Checking account, where you can earn money while doing your everyday banking. *

Here for Cape Ann and
the North Shore

BankGloucester is more than just a bank—we’re your neighbor and your partner. Each year, we give back through donations, sponsorships, scholarships, and volunteer work, all with one goal: to help our community thrive. Since 2000, we’ve given $2.15 million dollars to the people, causes, and organizations that make our community stronger.
