Champlain National Bank has once again earned the highest rating of five stars from the nation’s bank and credit union rating firm BauerFinancial.

This rating indicates that BauerFinancial considers Champlain National Bank to be a superior institution and has placed Champlain National Bank on its Recommended Report.

BauerFinancial is the nation’s leading independent bank and credit union rating and research firm, and has been reporting on and analyzing the performance of US banks and credit unions since 1983. No institution pays BauerFinancial to rate it, nor can any choose to be excluded.

“We are proud to receive this superior rating,” President and CEO Steven Cacchio said. “The entire staff at Champlain National Bank works hard to ensure the bank stays financially sound and to offer our community not only a local choice, but one that is rated well on a national level.”
