North Middlesex Savings Bank and Marlborough Savings Bank today announced plans to merge and create a new, larger mutual savings bank to provide even greater service and convenience to customers. Centered on an unwavering commitment to hometown banking — this mutually beneficial partnership will combine two organizations with very similar cultures and core values. \u00a0The merger will also allow the combined bank to offer enhanced benefits such as increased lending capacity, a larger network of branches and ATMs, and continue its legacy of being a responsible neighbor while delivering easy, hassle-free banking.<\/p>\n
A name for the bank will be announced during the fourth quarter of 2016. \u00a0The combined bank will have assets of close to $1 billion and $95 million in equity and operate a network of 14 branches staffed by the same employees customers have banked with for years as no staff reductions will occur as a result of the merger. \u00a0Customers will continue to benefit from fully insured deposits through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Deposit Insurance Fund. In addition, the integration enables greater investment in innovative banking products and new technology for anytime\/anywhere banking.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe two banks are vibrant and strong, but we will be stronger together. This new venture will let us provide customers with the best products, convenience and exceptional service from people they know and trust. \u00a0We are deeply committed to the principles of mutual savings banks, which are accountable to their customers and by joining forces, we are ensuring the longevity of hometown banks who are deeply rooted in their communities,\u201d said Walter J. Dwyer, IV, President and CEO of North Middlesex Savings Bank.<\/p>\n
\u201cBanking is a people business. Our steadfast commitment to exceptional customer service is built by our teams of dedicated employees. This merger will provide them additional opportunities and teammates to better serve our customers and continue our joint tradition of easy access to decision makers,\u201d said Richard K. Bennett, President and CEO of Marlborough Savings Bank.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
