History

The bank was founded on August 6, 1851, by a group of shipmasters, businessmen, and entrepreneurs.[1][3]

The bank's branch served as a gathering place for many skippers who met there between voyages to discuss their adventures.[3]

The first bank president was Henry L. Champlin, a sea captain.[3]

In 2015, John W. Rafal, the founder of the financial services division, was fired after he paid a referral fee in violation of regulations.[4][5]
