Dime Bank: A Sense of Security in an Insecure World

News Release - September 30, 2008

October 2008: BauerFinancial, Inc., Coral Gables, Florida, is pleased to announce that Dime Bank, Norwich, Connecticut has earned its highest 5-Star Superior rating for financial strength and stability. It is heartening to know that there are still well run community banks, like Dime Bank, that have risen above the calamity that has befallen so many others. The 5-Star Superior rating is based on the overall financial picture of the bank and indicates that Dime Bank is one of the strongest banks in the nation. In fact, this represents the 75th consecutive quarter that Dime Bank has earned this highest honor giving it the added distinction of being an “Exceptional Performance Bank”. Fewer than 6% of the nation’s banks have earned a 5-Star rating for 75 consecutive quarters or longer. 

“It gives me great pleasure to announce that there are still banks, like Dime Bank, that continue to build a sense of a security in this insecure world,” heralds Karen L. Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “Residents in and around Norwich have the privilege of banking with a true community bank that has stuck to true, common-sense, banking values. They can sleep soundly in the knowledge that they are banking with one of the strongest banks in the country.”
