UniBank Wins Awards

UniBank, the largest Mutual Community Bank in Central Massachusetts, has recently won two awards for banking. Readers of the Telegram & gazette voted UniBank as the “Best Bank of Central Massachusetts” while readers of the Worcester Business Journal voted UniBank as the “Best Bank” within the Best of Business awards for the 10th year. Michael Welch, CEO of UniBank stated, “It’s humbling to receive such recognition from the community which we serve. Such validation from the people who live and work in Central Massachusetts serves as further inspiration for all of us at UniBank. As the largest financial institution headquartered in Worcester County these awards are a testament to the hard work, and commitment of our employees to our mission as a mutual bank. As a non-stock bank, our mission can be fully about the people, institutions and needs of our community, as distinct from serving the needs of stockholders and share price from across the country. To receive these awards, voted by individuals who live in our communities, including those who own/run businesses, is an endorsement that we are large enough to serve a wide variety of personal and business needs, yet, not too big to know people by name. We are thankful for the faith and trust that the community has in us.”
