FROM NICK MAFFEO, PRESIDENT & CEO
Keeping your options open ...
JAN 2021
You may have noticed that – at Canton Co-operative Bank and long before the Coronavirus – customers had access to a complete selection of online and mobile banking tools. Maybe you used them. Maybe you didn’t. But they were there for you.
And more are coming. Some, like online appointment scheduling, are pretty much in response to the virus. Others also coming soon – including online account opening – have basically become expected banking conveniences like online/mobile banking, online loan applications and e-statements.
So yes, we will keep adding online tools because some people love online banking. Others have recently discovered they really need it.
But just because you can do something online, it doesn’t mean you have to. It doesn’t mean you’ll always want to.
Which is why it’s not about the technology at Canton Co-operative.
It’s always about keeping your options open.
When you want to talk to someone or you need to talk with someone, we’re here for you. As we have been through two world-wide pandemics, and more over the years.
With technology, yes. And – more important – with people. Dedicated local bankers with experience and authority who you can actually reach in person, by phone and by email. Good people who genuinely do want to help. Here at Canton Co-operative Bank, that option will always be open to you.
Nick Maffeo
President & CEO
A NEW YEAR, A FRESH START
If you're dealing with a growing snowball of debt
Right now, there are quite a number of people who are experiencing financial setbacks from events of 2020. A reduction in income. Using credit cards to bridge the gap. But credit card interest rates are so high. And many may feel stuck with Coronavirus worries and with trailing credit card balances.
If this is you (or someone you know), come see us or call 781-828-8811 x4 or email me and we can talk about your next best move.
With bank loan rates still so low, a Home Equity Line of Credit is a real option for homeowners with equity. There are other options too.
We are happy to help you explore them all. We’d be delighted to help you start melting that snowball of debt.

Pie Day 2020: Thank you for everything!
Various COVID limits made it impossible for customers and friends to bring holiday pies into the Bank for the Food Pantry. But we could collect contributions – and thanks to you, Pie Day 2020 was the most successful Pie Day ever. (Take that, Coronavirus!)
You were all amazing! Your generosity truly touched the hearts of everyone - especially the local people who always helped in the past but found themselves needing help this time. The Bank and the Food Pantry and the people who had a Thanksgiving pie after all thank you most sincerely! Also thanks to Table Talk Pies for participating once again so generously via their Community Giving Program.
