Our mission is to enable anyone to make positive and lasting change in our local food ecosystem. Walden Mutual is an online bank offering deposit accounts to individuals and organizations - and lending to farms, food businesses, non-profits and other businesses working towards a more sustainable future. As a mutual (the first new one in 50 years), we’re owned by our depositors and governed by our community - built not to maximize short-term earnings, but to stand the test of time.
