Frequently Asked Questions

For more than 168 years, Bangor Savings Bank has earned the confidence of people and organizations who value the commitment of a local and independent financial institution. A lot has changed since our Bank was chartered in 1852, but Bangor Savings Bank remains true to its roots—the people and communities we serve.
 
As a mutual bank, we’re accountable to our Board, our employees, our customers, and our communities. Because of that, we’re able to operate independently and retain the personal approach and local perspective of a smaller bank—with a focus on valuing and listening to customers. At the same time, we’ve been able to drive growth and enhance our customers’ experiences by significantly investing in new, convenient branches, safe and secure technology, and new products and services

DB&T is becoming part of Bangor Savings Bank. Once merged, we’ll work toward our system conversion, where you continue to receive the same great service you’ve come to expect. The branches will become part of the Bangor Savings Bank branch network with additional locations across Maine and New Hampshire.

We look forward to communicating important information about your accounts and the merger through a series of mailed communications. We welcome you to also check back here frequently for updates as we progress through the transition. Until our organizations are merged, please reach out to your DB&T representative. Alternatively, our Bangor Support team is also available to assist by calling 1.877.Bangor1 (1.877.226.4671).

Though the two organizations legally merged on December 1, 2020, there won’t be any updates to the way you bank until the system conversion, or operational merger. This will take place over the weekend of January 29, 2021. You have already begun seeing communications about the transition to Bangor Savings Bank and you’ll continue to receive important communications about what to expect and when through December 2020 and January 2021.

Bangor Savings Bank believes in contributing to the strength and health of our communities. We serve our local communities through employee volunteerism, the Bangor Savings Bank Foundation, and Corporate giving. Just last year, together the Bank and Foundation invested more than $2.5 million in our communities at a local and state-level.  Even more impressive, our employees logged more than 15,000 volunteer hours. We love to give to the causes that mean most to our communities, whether it’s a local road race or charity event or a regional state-level organization, such as United Way. Big or small, we want to be there.
 
Caring for the communities we live in and serve is not just a priority, it’s who we are.

We continue to work through the finer points of our merger and prepare for as seamless transition as possible. To prepare, please review the important information being mailed to you beginning in December and also posted here. Within these communications you’ll find tips of things you can do to prepare. Until January 29^th, please continue to bank as you normally do.

If you have deposit accounts at both DB&T and Bangor Savings Bank and the combined balance of those deposits is $250,000 or less, there will be no change to your FDIC insurance coverage and your combined deposits will continue to be fully insured.

We welcome and encourage you to check back here frequently for updates as we progress through the transition, and please keep an eye out for important information to be delivered in the mail.  Please continue to reach out to your DB&T representative or call Bangor Support at 1.877.Bangor1 (1.877.226.4671).
