Our Story
In 2016, Biddeford Savings and Mechanics Savings recognized the greater service and value we could bring our customers by forming a partnership. Operating under a mutual holding company, Maine Community Bancorp, the alliance enabled us to combine our resources without losing our core identities as community banks with a rich local history.
On January 1, 2020, the two banks merged under the single charter of Maine Community Bank. This step allows us to increase our lending capacity, expand the full-service branch locations available to all of our customers, and remain competitive by upgrading our technology. While both companies will operate as divisions of Maine Community Bank, they will also maintain the Biddeford Savings and Mechanics Savings identities that our customers have come to trust over the past 150 years.
Today, Maine Community Bank is finding ways to more actively leverage investment in our communities. We have increased our lending capacity to small businesses, combined our community investment and philanthropy to make a greater impact, and increased the opportunities for growth available to our employees.
We are excited to be a local community bank who is helping to build a brighter community, now and for generations to come.
