About Mascoma Bank | 1185 Shelburne Road in South Burlington

Mascoma Bank has deep roots in northern New England, originally founded in 1899 in Lebanon, New Hampshire, and built on a cooperative savings bank model that prioritized community lending over shareholder profit. This South Burlington branch sits along Shelburne Road, one of Vermont's busiest commercial corridors connecting Burlington to the town of Shelburne, an area that blends suburban retail energy with genuine Vermont character. South Burlington is a working, practical city — less postcard Vermont than Burlington proper, but all the more useful for it. The proximity to local businesses like Bliss Bee reflects the mix of independent operators and everyday commerce that defines this stretch. An ATM is available on-site. As a mutual savings bank, Mascoma reinvests earnings into its communities rather than distributing them to outside investors — a distinction that carries real weight in a state where locally accountable financial institutions remain part of civic identity.
