WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A

Mutual Bank?

It Means Mutual Respect. Interests. Understanding.

WHY DOES MUTUALITY MATTER?

As a mutual bank, we have no stockholders whose top priority is a return on investment. Instead, we have a long term vision and a measured approach to the growth of our business. We are not pressured by short term gains, but instead–focused on planning for a strong future.

At CSB, we are driven by what really matters to us–our employees, our customers, and our community and we are accountable for continuously improving the experiences that all of these groups have with us.

WE PUT PEOPLE FIRST, ALWAYS.

OUR EMPLOYEES

Our strength as a mutual allows us the freedom to be especially committed to investing in our employees – their career growth, their wellness, and their overall development.

  • Competitive rates offered across all products and services
  • Continual investments made in technology, process improvements, and products that allow us to deliver customer-centric experiences
  • Loan decisions are made locally – we have expertise in the markets we serve
  • Bankers that invest their time and expertise to helping customers and small businesses grow and prosper

We do not make short-term decisions that affect quarterly earnings, because as a mutual, we do not have to. We have real relationships with our customers – and pride ourselves on serving them and knowing them at a deep, personal level — for the long-term.

OUR COMMUNITY

We are local, reliable, and responsive – and deeply committed to investing in the markets that support our customers and small businesses.
