Message from the President

As we approach the Holiday Season, I want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support throughout the year. Our dedicated team remains committed to delivering exceptional service and flexible solutions tailored to meet your needs. As a mutual bank, your satisfaction is our priority, and we are here to help you achieve your financial goals.

This holiday season, we invite you to join us in spreading joy and kindness within our community. Participate in our Salvation Army Angel Tree program and contribute to our collections for local food pantries. Together, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need. You’ll find more details about these initiatives below.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, Officers, and our entire team at Charles River Bank, I wish you and your loved ones a safe and joyous holiday season.

Join Charles River Bank in Bringing Holiday Joy to Local Children

Every year, Charles River Bank proudly participates in the Angel Tree Program offered through The Salvation Army of Milford. The bank pledges to adopt between 30 and 40 children each holiday season. Bank employees, as well as generous customers and community members, are matched up with various children of local families in need.

Sponsors are then given a wish list that a child has created and purchase items specifically requested by that child. Wish list tags will be available in Charles River Bank’s Medway, Bellingham and Mendon offices listing a child’s first name, their age, their clothing size and some toy and gift requests. Visit one of Charles River Bank’s branches to pick up a child’s wish list or contact info@charlesriverbank.com if you would like a wish list sent to you.

All gifts must be returned to Charles River Bank’s Medway office by the beginning of December. Gifts must be new, unwrapped, and in a large bag with the wish list tag attached to the outside.

Unlock Convenience & Safety with your Tap-to-Pay Debit Card

Charles River Bank’s new debit cards feature Tap-to-Pay functionality, enhancing convenience, speed, and security. These cards utilize Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, allowing transactions at compatible point-of-sale terminals with a simple tap, speeding up the checkout process during this busy holiday shopping season.

Key Benefits:

Speed and Efficiency: Complete purchases in seconds, reducing wait times.

Enhanced Security: Each transaction creates a unique code, minimizing fraud risk and eliminating card skimming.

User-Friendly Experience: Simplifies payments without cash or PINs for small purchases.

Contactless Transactions: Promotes hygiene by minimizing physical contact, a priority post-COVID-19.

Tap-to-pay technology employs encryption and tokenization for data protection that adds an additional level of security. (Note: Even with this additional security, we always encourage customers to regularly monitor your accounts via Online/Mobile Banking and report any unrecognized account activity.)

Whether you prefer traditional shopping or digital wallets, tap-to-pay cards streamline banking. You can easily add your CRB Debit card to mobile wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay for added convenience. For questions, contact your CRB Personal Banker at 508-533-8661.

Thank you!
