“We are thrilled to welcome customers and our new colleagues from Blue
Hills Bank,” said Christopher Oddleifson, Chief Executive Officer of
Rockland Trust. “For over 100 years we have focused on making
relationships with communities and customers our top priority. We look
forward to supporting our new customers and team members and helping
them reach their goals.”
With the addition of Blue Hills’ branches and banking team, Rockland
Trust expands its presence in Greater Boston with retail offices in
Boston’s Seaport District, Hyde Park, Milton, and Dedham. The branches
join Rockland Trust’s locations in Boston neighborhoods that include the
downtown Financial District, Allston, Brighton, Brookline, Chestnut
Hill, Jamaica Plain, and West Roxbury.
The combination of the two banks also extends Rockland Trust’s footprint
from Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard onto Nantucket. Nantucket Bank will
continue to operate under its name as a division of Rockland Trust,
serving customers from the same branches on Pleasant Street, Orange
Street, and Amelia Drive, and supported by the same friendly bankers
that islanders have come to know.
Rockland Trust will provide additional support from its commitment to
giving back to communities through volunteerism and philanthropy. Named
a Top Charitable Contributor by the Boston Business Journal for
five consecutive years, Rockland Trust will award charitable grants to
local nonprofits through the Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation and
the Rockland Trust Blue Hills Charitable Foundation. The Bank will also
continue to support communities through initiatives such as its annual
scholarship contest for college-bound high school seniors and RockCorp,
its volunteer program that provides each employee with two paid
volunteer days per year for participating in volunteer activities in
their local communities.
