Our History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

BayCoast Bank is a long-standing community bank, serving customers since 1851. Originally chartered in Tiverton, Rhode Island, BayCoast Bank started out simply as The Savings Bank<\/em>, opening its doors on December 1st of that year. In 1862, a state boundary shift placed The Savings Bank <\/em>on the Massachusetts side of the line, making the city of Fall River its home for well over a century, before relocating its headquarters to Swansea in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are incredibly honored by our decades-long tradition of financial services to the area. Today, this commitment is as strong as ever, and it is our privilege to continue to provide exceptional service to you, as we did for your parents, grandparents, and great grandparents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    We are ensuring the safe disposal and recycling of electronic equipment, printer cartridges, toner cartridges, and other hazardous materials, minimizing their impact on the environment. We have also taken significant steps to reduce waste by eliminating Styrofoam use across all our facilities.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

    We have implemented water-efficient irrigation systems across all our operating facilities and branch network, reducing water consumption by two-thirds annually. Looking ahead, we are planning ecological and lawn replacement strategies, focusing on the use of native plant species that are better suited to each region\u2019s unique climate and conditions.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

    About one-third of our annual energy usage has been offset by installing solar photovoltaic panels across 55% of our operating facilities and branch network. To further reduce energy consumption, we have implemented motion-sensitive lighting in offices and conference rooms, ensuring that lights are only on when needed. Additionally, we are in the process of transitioning all office, parking, and carport lighting to energy-efficient LED bulbs.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n
