Got a minute? In this edition of Rapid Fire Finance, Heather, our Shrewsbury Branch Manager, answers some common questions about Certificates, including:

✅ How often is interest paid on a CD?

✅ What makes a CD one of the safest ways to grow your savings?

✅ How does a CD work?

If you're looking for a predictable way to grow money you don't need right away, a Certificate may be worth considering.

Our 15-month Certificate is currently earning 4.45% APY*, with just $500 needed to open. Your rate is locked in for the full term, giving you a predictable return while your savings grows.

A Certificate can be a fit for money you're setting aside for a future goal, whether that's a major purchase, building your savings, or planning for what's next.

Have a financial question you'd like us to answer in a future Rapid Fire Finance? Drop it in the comments!

Spirit of Shrewsbury 2026 was epic! 🎉

We loved spending the day with members of the community we're proud to call home. From great conversations to our Pick-a-Pop game, there was plenty of excitement, especially for those who uncovered prizes ranging from $1 all the way up to $100!

Watching Shrewsbury come together each year is one of our favorite traditions, and we're already counting down to 2027. 💙

The Kenneth F. Burns Memorial Bridge connecting Shrewsbury to Worcester catches some incredible sunsets this time of year.

We see this community every day. But every once in a while, it’s nice to see it from a different perspective.

Wicked Local Banking® starts with appreciating the place we call home. 💙

Community happens when people have places to come together.

That’s why libraries matter.

Libraries are often referred to as a “third space”, which is one of the most valuable places a community can have.

Third spaces are social or cultural zones that exist outside of work or home. They give people a place to gather, learn, share ideas, and build relationships beyond their daily routines.

In our increasingly digital world, these spaces are more important than ever, and Shrewsbury Public Library is a great example of how important these spaces are.

More than just a hub for learning, the library brings people together through shared interests, experiences, and opportunities for growth.

As a strong advocate for community and third spaces, we’re proud to support the Shrewsbury Public Library with a $5,000 donation in honor of the 10-year anniversary of its historic expansion.

When communities have spaces to gather, they thrive. That’s what Central One is all about.

We are honored to share that Debra Paciello, our Westborough Branch Manager, will be leading the UMASS Chan Cancer Walk survivors lap this Sunday, September 27, at Polar Park.

The UMass Cancer Walk is a large-scale fundraising event where thousands of people gather to fight cancer and show their support for healthcare providers, researchers, patients, and survivors.

For Debra, the walk has been a meaningful part of her life for more than two decades, first as someone supporting loved ones affected by cancer and later as a survivor herself.

In 2022, she brought that commitment to Central One by starting the “Central One-ders" Cancer Walk team. This year marks the fourth year that team will participate, coming together to show their support for those affected by cancer.

Along with having a Central One team member lead the Survivors Lap, we’re proud to support this year’s Cancer Walk as a $5,000 Fighter Sponsor. Our employees have also raised $2,500 in support of cancer research at UMass Chan.

For Debra, leading this year’s walk is another meaningful chapter in a journey that has spanned more than two decades. Her story is one of resilience, strength, and a commitment to showing up for others. To read more about Debra’s story, read our full blog post, linked in the comments below.

If you or a loved one has been affected by cancer, or you want to show your support, we encourage you to join the UMASS Cancer Walk.
