Founded in 1906 by a group of local businessmen, Winter Hill Bank was originally known as Winter Hill Federal Savings and Loan Association. (The Winter Hill neighborhood in Somerville takes its name from the 120-foot hill upon which it sits.) The Bank changed its name in 1987, following its conversion to a mutual savings bank. Winter Hill Bank is one of the few independent, mutual, and community banks still in operation in Massachusetts. To quote Sandra McGoldrick, President/CEO of Winter Hill Bank,
Some banks that prospered in our area no longer exist as the contraction of the banking industry continues. There simply are not many of us left but I am proud to say that Winter Hill Bank has not only survived, but is thriving. Simply put: To remain competitive in this evolution of the banking industry, we must be doing something right.
