The Mutual Banking Difference

What Is a Mutual Bank?

Mutual savings banks, like Bank of Canton, are banks that operate solely for the benefit of their customers and communities. Profits are returned to customers in the form of better rates and fewer fees, and reinvested in local communities through charitable giving and outreach programs. Mutual banks are owned by their borrowers and depositors.

Ownership and profit sharing are what differentiate mutual banks from stock banks, which are owned and controlled by individual and institutional shareholders that profit from them.
