You can rely on our people

Our employees are experts in their fields—and they’re also your neighbors. We’re here for you.

Whether I'm downtown in Post Office Square or at home in Marblehead, they know me and are always ready to help.

Paula & Jamie Gaull, Marblehead

I'm a strong believer that a hometown bank can better serve the needs of our family.

Jonathan Hubbard, Tewksbury

Salem Five is almost like our extended family. We've been with them since the early 90’s. They’ve watch our girls grow up and now the girls have their own debit cards.

Mark Provost, Hamilton

It’s not a mechanical relationship. It’s personal.

Dave Gravel, Peabody

I banked with a big bank for years. Waiting 20 minutes for a deposit. Forget about it! I’m in and out at Salem Five. They know me.

Todd Flannery, Swampscott

Accounts

Checking

A checking account gives you quick and easy access to your funds through both ATM/debit and traditional check-writing. Salem Five offers four different checking accounts to fit our customers’ varying needs.

Savings & Money Market

Savings and money market accounts earn interest but allow you easy access to your funds. Salem Five offers several savings options, with variations in interest rates, minimum balance, etc., to help you work toward your financial goals.

Learn More

CDs

If you’d like to earn more interest on your savings and won’t need to access it for a few months or years—deposit periods vary—a certificate of deposit, or CD, could be the way to go. Generally, CDs pay higher interest than savings or money market accounts, but offer a locked-in interest rate over a set period of time.

Loans

Star Home Equity Line of Credit

A home equity line of credit (HELOC), also called a home equity loan or a “second mortgage,” is a revolving loan that uses the value of your home as collateral. It’s a great way to fund larger expenses like home improvements or debt consolidation while only paying interest on the amount you borrow.

Learn More

Automobile Loans

Whether you’re financing your dream car or looking to improve an existing rate, we understand the excitement of getting new wheels—and we’ll balance that with wisdom and experience, to help you get the right rate for the right term.

Learn More

Overdraft Protection

Overdraft protection is peace of mind, pure and simple. Essentially a line of credit, overdraft protection kicks in when your checking account has insufficient funds, preventing returned checks and overdraft fees—as well as embarrassment and headache.

Learn More

Student Loans

If you’re attending a degree-granting institution, from a technical school to a four-year university, and you have college expenses that aren’t covered by scholarships or federal student loans, a Salem Five Smart Option Student Loan can help see you through to graduation.

Insurance

Homeowners

Homeowners’ insurance is critical to protect not only the four walls and roof of your actual house but also the family, memories, and belongings that make your house a home. Our thoughtful, experienced professionals will help you make the important decisions involved in ensuring your home is properly covered.

Learn More

Automobile

At Salem Five, we don’t believe there’s such a thing as one-size-fits-all automobile insurance. We’ll work with you to understand how your car, driving habits, budget, and personal preferences determine your needs, and we’ll set up coverage that’s just right for you.

Learn More

Renters

Protecting your belongings is important and very affordable. Most landlords’ insurance doesn’t cover your stuff—from furniture and clothing to precious photos and electronics—in the event of fire, theft, or other calamities, but you can protect yourself with Salem Five renters’ insurance.

Learn More

Motorcycle

Salem Five agents understand the many variations and options of motorcycle insurance—and how very different it is from auto coverage. We’ll work with you to make sure your wheels, along with important safety equipment and more, are protected.

Learn More

Recreation

Outdoor fun is a special treat, but insurance coverage for your recreational equipment is a necessity. Off-road, on the water, or on the highway, make sure your vehicles and equipment are fully protected against the unexpected.

Learn More

Umbrella

Sometimes, a little extra coverage can be worth a whole lot. If exposure to risk makes you nervous, or if you have property or assets you could potentially lose in a lawsuit, talk with a Salem Five agent about how to stay out of the rain with an umbrella policy.

Learn More

Life

Life insurance is about protecting your family’s financial future. It can be tough to think about, more so because of the widely varying policies available, but our experienced agents are here to help you understand your options and choose the coverage that’s right for your family.

Learn More
Mortgages

Fixed-Rate

A fixed-rate mortgage keeps your interest rate the same for the life of your loan, a great option if you plan to be in your home for a long time. Whether you’re buying or refi-ing, make sure your mortgage stays in the community.

Learn More

Adjustable Rate (ARM)

An adjustable-rate mortgage starts with the interest rate fixed for a certain period, which keeps your payments the same every month; then, your interest rate—and therefore payments—adjust based on current national rates.

Learn More

Construction and Renovation

Building a new home, or renovating an old one, can be costly. Don’t let interest rates and mortgage fees pile on top. We have a lot of construction and renovation financing options to help you build the home of your dreams.

Learn More

Jumbo

When your lending needs are a little bigger than average, Salem Five is here for you. Our jumbo mortgages are easily navigable with the help of a Salem Five lender, and can help you achieve your next step—even if it’s a doozy.

Learn More

Reverse

With a reverse mortgage, the bank pays you, rather than the other way around. Based on the value of your home and other factors, a reverse mortgage can help with your cash-flow needs. Our lenders will walk you through the process every step of the way.

Learn More

VA

Salem Five is proud to support our servicemen and women with excellent home-buying opportunities. Our competitive-interest veterans’ loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs.

Learn More

Specialty Lending

Salem Five has plenty of options for mortgages and other types of lending that don’t fall into a standard category. We’ll work with you to find the right term, rate, and program for your project.

More than a simple will is required to plan how your estate will be dispersed among your heirs and to best protect it from tax burdens. Salem Five’s estate planning experts can help you anticipate and arrange for how your estate—your assets, wealth, and property—will be managed and settled.
