About Us

Franklin Savings Bank was organized in Farmington November 16, 1868 as Franklin County Savings Bank.

The charter for the new bank was created February 24, 1868, when Governor Joshua Chamberlain signed into law a bill incorporating Franklin County Savings Bank.  That charter was put into effect in November when Daniel Ormsby was chosen as the bank’s first president.

Today, Franklin Savings Bank is proud to consistently rank as one of the safest banks in the country. The bank is strong and well-managed, earning it the high marks by Weiss Ratings Inc., BankRate.com and Bauer Financial.

Our mission is to remain a financially strong, independent community bank, dedicated to superior customer and community service. We believe this mission can be accomplished through our continued commitment to retaining an experienced and highly motivated workforce. Our goal is to support our communities for years to come.

Founded in 1868, Franklin Savings Bank is one of the oldest and most successful businesses in Franklin County. It is, in fact, the ONLY locally-owned bank in Franklin County.
