NORWAY — BauerFinancial, Inc., of Coral Gables, Fla., a national bank rating and research firm, recently recognized Norway Savings Bank as a Superior 5-Star rated bank.

According to a news release, a 5-Star rating denotes that Norway Savings Bank is one of the best in the nation in terms of its overall financial performance. In fact, Norway has earned the 5-Star rating for the last 88 consecutive quarters, putting it in an even more elite group of “sustained superiority banks.”

“The recent uproar against big banks has shed a whole new light on community banks, and for good reason,” said Karen Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “While the primary focus of the big banks is dividend payments, smaller banks tend to be locals and therefore more in tune with the communities they serve. This community focus has paid off as Norway Savings Bank has earned Bauer’s highest 5-Star rating for strength and stability.”

Established in 1866, Norway Savings Bank currently operates 20 locations throughout western and southern Maine, and provides services in asset management, personal and business banking.
