Our Story

A Solutions Bank

Athol Savings Bank, a Division of Cornerstone Bank was founded in 1867 by a group of men in Athol, MA who wanted to establish a local savings bank that would offer financial deposit and lending services to the residents of the small New England town.  Athol Savings Bank, a Division of Cornerstone Bank developed a reputation of being a small-town friendly bank in the community it served.

Today, ASB is a mutual savings bank; we answer to our customers not shareholders.  Staying true to our core values has enabled us to maintain the same small-town friendly banking environment that was born over 150 years ago.  We put the customer first which allows us to build a tradition of integrity and trust that few others can match.  We embrace a future that includes adapting to changing times, planned and purposeful growth and continuous improvement.

Our goal is to be the financial foundation in our community; working harder, reaching higher and delivering strength, stability and security to our customers.  As we move forward, Athol Savings Bank, a Division of Cornerstone Bank is committed to being “A Solutions Bank” for our customers and the communities we serve.
