said this about the Savings Bank of Danbury:

"Savings Bank of Danbury has been the most helpful, supportive, friendliest bank I've ever known. They go above and beyond community friendly. I switched to them from trying 2 other local banks and have never looked back."

had this to say about Newtown Savings Bank

Personally I have found Newtown Savings Bank to be my personal favorite with over 28 years of service from them. This poll should be followed by the worst banking - my vote would be for Bank of America ( not necessarily the local branch but the B of Am as an institution)!

Thanks for voting everyone!
