Chelsea Groton Bank: Over Three Decades with 5-Star Strength

BauerFinancial, Inc., the Nation’s Premier Bank Rating Firm, acknowledged Chelsea Groton Bank for its continued 5-Star status, excelling in areas of capital, loan quality, and more. March 2025 marks the 124th consecutive quarter that Chelsea Groton Bank has earned this distinction, which gives it the added prestige of being a “Best of Bauer Bank”. Only banks that have earned and maintained this highest 5-Star rating for 25 years (100 consecutive quarters), or longer, may claim this distinction.

“A lot of things are changing,” reflects Karen L. Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “Rules and regulations are being retooled, technology is advancing at lightning speed, and it’s easy to feel like you’re getting lost in the fray,” she continues. “People don’t want to feel like that at their bank. When they walk into a branch, they want to feel confident that their deposits are safe, that all rules are being followed, and that their banker understands their specific needs. That’s why it’s so important to have 5-Star banks, like Chelsea Groton Bank, in our communities. We can be confident that they have our hard-earned deposits properly secured.”

Since its inception in 1854, Chelsea Groton Bank has been an ardent supporter of the people and organizations in the communities it serves. Learn more at www.chelseagroton.com.
