Community President
"When I started at WaterStone, I did not have a banking background. Everyone that I work with has a vested interest in helping me establish a career that’s not “just a job”. They take the time to explain, coach, and mentor. Leadership has been very hands on and supportive at all levels!"

Wendy Rice
VP, Retail Support, Deposit Operations
“WaterStone Bank truly cares about their employee’s professional development. My career with WaterStone Bank started in 1997 as a teller. Within a year I progressed to a personal banker and a year later moved into our IRA department. I continued to work my way up until 2021 when I was promoted to Vice President-Retail Support. WaterStone Bank’s continued support and encouragement has afforded me great opportunities and a successful banking career.”
