![Icon of a human figure with a star on their chest, standing like a superhero](https://www.gorhamsavings.bank/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Icon-BiB-Mutuality.png)
We made the decision to put our customers first 150 years ago—and we’ve never looked back. We did it by becoming a mutual savings bank. By making our customers more than a promise, by making them our owners.

We don’t do it for the PR. We don’t even do it because our company encourages us to. We do it because we want to. Because we live here. And we know and care about the other people who live here, too.
