Founded in 1827, Saco & Biddeford Savings has been in business longer than any other bank in Maine. We have branches in Saco, Biddeford, Old Orchard Beach, Portland, Scarborough, South Portland and Westbrook — all in the same places our employees call home.
We’re proud of being a cornerstone in our community, helping generations of Mainers in every way we can. As that leader, we've contributed more than $5.2 million to area organizations over the last 10 years and continue to support the needs of the communities we serve.
It's a Mutual Thing
As a mutual savings bank, we prioritize supporting the people and communities we serve, because we're proud to live and work here, too.
Since 1827, we have been consistently involved in various local clubs, non-profit organizations, and community groups in an effort to help make our community a better place to live and work.
In 2022, with Paquin & Carroll Insurance1, we donated over $660,000 to more than 300 non-profits and community organizations throughout Maine, including food pantries, mental health organizations, schools, youth groups, sports teams, the arts, elderly care, social service organizations and so much more.
By serving as an active presence in our communities, we hope to encourage others to do the same. Because being there for others not only enhances personal growth, but positively impacts the well-being of our neighbors and friends as well.
It's a Mutual Thing.
Our Reason For Being
Our Mission is to serve with compassion while striving for excellence. Our Vision is to be a source of possibilities. The values that guide us:
Act in the spirit of caring, compassion, and excellence
We approach life, work, and one another with whole and open hearts. We are committed to being outstanding and doing consistent, thorough, and accurate work.
Cultivate meaningful relationships
We prioritize relationships by exemplifying kindness and generosity. We believe that small, consistent acts of care lead to big impact. We have each other’s backs, and are committed to giving, sharing, selflessness, development, and accountability. We embrace new ideas with an open mind, recognizing both our strengths and weaknesses as we work toward our shared goals.
Embody trust & integrity
We act with consistency, excellence, and reliability day in and day out. We choose courage over comfort, doing what’s right over what’s fun, fast, or easy. We treat each other with kindness, consideration, and dignity, and acknowledge each person’s worth and value as human beings. We follow through on our commitments and responsibilities, and take ownership of our words, actions, and work.
Enrich the lives around us
We are committed to improving our communities and ourselves. We believe in fostering an environment where everyone has a sense of belonging, acceptance, and support. We believe every individual has the power to make a difference, and in providing the opportunities for everyone to find excellence within themselves and see it in others. We believe in asking questions, looking for better solutions, and finding the best versions of ourselves.
Together, we can do incredible things.
We're not just your bank.
We're your neighbor.
Looking out for you.
You need something, just ask.
Because we know you'd do the same for your neighbor.
It's a mutual thing.
You can call us Saco Bidd.
Sure, we sponsor the local team,
But we'll also talk to you about the game.
We support the local coffee shop and grab a cup on the way to work.
You'll see our name on the concert poster,
But you'll also see our face at the show.
Share pictures of your grandkids as we prepare your legacy.
And maybe we'll help you buy your next home,
Just down the street from ours.
So yeah... we'll do everything we can to help you,
And together we can do incredible things.
It's a mutual thing.
