Envision Bank is a full-service community bank headquartered in Stoughton, Massachusetts. Since 1851, the bank has taken a forward-looking approach to exceeding the expectations of their customers. We believe in a People + Tech Approach that makes banking fast, efficient, and simple allowing consumers and businesses to bank the way they want, where they want, and when they want. As a top Massachusetts mortgage lender, Envision Bank takes this approach from application to closing with every customer from a first-time homebuyer to the homeowner who is ready to downsize. The bank also offers a full suite of banking services for cash management and lending products for busy business owners on the go, while not losing sight of the importance of developing personal relationships and an understanding of their customers’ needs. Envision Bank is proud to have been selected as one of The Boston Globe’s Top Places to Work 2020 winners and is committed to creating a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable work environment for all of its colleagues.
