History
East Boston Savings Bank was established in Maverick Square, East Boston in 1848 by some merchants and shipbuilders, as a result of the booming commerce in Boston. [7] [8]
In 1991, East Boston Savings Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of Meridian Mutual Holding Company, later known as Meridian Financial Services.[ citation needed]
By, 2006 Meridian formed another holding company called Meridian Interstate Bancorp, to which ownership of the bank was transferred. [9]
In 2009, Meridian Interstate entered into a merger agreement with Mt. Washington Cooperative Bank of South Boston, Massachusetts. The merger was consummated in early 2010 and Mt. Washington Bank now operates under its name as a division of East Boston Savings Bank. [7] [10]
In July 2014, Meridian Interstate Bancorp consummated a second step stock conversion. Its top tier holding company MFS ceased to exist and a new corporation, Meridian Bancorp, Inc. was established. [11]
In May 2020, East Boston Savings Bank has collaborated with nearby restaurants in East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester and Revere to provide over 1,300 meals. [12]
In July 2020, East Boston Savings Bank has launched new branches in Salem and Woburn, and plans to launch the third branch of EBSB in Brookline in late summer. [13]
