BERLIN, MD (December 30, 2024) – Taylor Bank is proud to announce it is starting 2025 with another 5-Star Superior rating from BauerFinancial, the Nation’s Premier Bank Rating Firm. A 5-Star Superior rating indicates that Taylor Bank is one of the strongest banks in the nation, excelling in areas of capital, loan quality, profitability and more. This marks the 138th consecutive quarter that Taylor Bank has earned this top rating, which secures it an even more elite status as a “Best of Bauer Bank”, an honor reserved solely for banks that have maintained a 5-Star rating for 25 years or longer.
“Local decisions, responsive service and dedication to making the community a better place to live, these are the hallmarks of community banks, like Taylor Bank”, champions Karen L. Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “Understanding what the community needs and providing the financial support tailored to those needs, is what community banking is all about. We at Bauer are never surprised, but always pleased, when community banks, Taylor Bank included, are also at the top of their own financial game,” she continued.
Established in 1890, Taylor Bank has been an avid supporter of the people and organizations in the communities it serves for 135 years. Knowing that this is also where its own employees live, work and play, supporting those communities is a no-brainer. This community-focused bank wouldn’t have it any other way.
