EBC

Eastern Bankshares, Inc.

A Boston-based regional bank serving individuals, businesses, and commercial clients with personal and business banking, wealth management, and commercial lending. Its roots reach back to 1818, when it opened in Salem, Massachusetts as the Salem Savings Bank; a 1981 merger with the Lynn Institution for Savings led to the Eastern Bank name in 1989. Its first customer was a widow named Rebecca Sutton, whose deposit had to be made by her husband's attorney because the laws of the era barred women from entering a bank.
