We need to be more than a bank:
a trusted business partner;
a catalyst for innovation;
an expert and engaged team;
a community builder;
an industry leader.
Focusing on our fundamental promise ensures we are always ready with the caring, personal service, and exceptional products and services that Northern New Englanders have come to expect from us.
Today, local relationships matter more than ever.
Customers are counting on us to be...
more than a bank.

In Memoriam: G. Clifton Eames
April 14, 1927 - March 13, 2025
Farewell to a longtime Trustee and former Chair of the Board
Passing just shy of his 98th birthday, Clifton Eames was a true force for community and a man who embodied the ideal of doing more for others.
Clif retired from N.H. Bragg & Sons, the company started by his great-great-great grandfather in 1854, only two years after the founding of Bangor Savings Bank. Serving on the Bank’s Board of Trustees from 1976-1999, with the last 10 years as Chair of the Board, Clif’s tenure saw the Bank achieve numerous milestones, including the acquisition of 28 Fleet Bank branches, the opening of its first lending office in Portland, the acquisition of a Portland-based brokerage firm, and the creation of an insurance subsidiary.
But perhaps Clif’s most notable achievement was the creation of The Bangor Savings Bank Foundation, significantly advancing the Bank’s philanthropic efforts to help meet the ever-increasing needs of our communities. In honor of his commitment to education and professional development, the Bank built the G. Clifton Eames Learning Center in Bangor.
Clif maintained a keen interest in our work and achievements and was a regular guest at the annual Honorary Trustee luncheon, where he will be missed. We are honored he is part of our legacy.
