Country Bank has been named to Newsweek’s America’s Best Regional Banks & Credit Unions 2026 list. Presented by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group, the ranking recognizes institutions that drive local economic growth through small-business support, community investment, and expanded access to everyday banking services.
The annual ranking recognizes institutions that earn customer trust through strong financial performance, high satisfaction, and meaningful community engagement. Country Bank stands among the most well-capitalized banks in Massachusetts, with a 93% customer satisfaction rating and more than $1 million annually in charitable donations and sponsorships supporting local communities.
“At Country Bank, banking is about more than transactions; it’s about relationships, opportunity, and community,” said Mary McGovern, President and CEO of Country Bank. “This recognition from Newsweek reflects our team’s commitment to exceptional service and meaningful impact in the communities we serve.”
“More than financial service providers, community banks are community partners, supporting local initiatives, strengthening neighborhoods, and helping members achieve their financial goals,” noted Newsweek Editor-in-Chief Jennifer H. Cunningham. “We hope this list helps individuals and businesses identify trusted institutions as they plan for their financial future.”
This recognition follows a year of continued growth and innovation at Country Bank, as the 176-year-old organization expands access to personalized financial services through its branch network, business offices, and digital offerings, while remaining focused on helping individuals, businesses, and communities thrive.
