History
The bank was established in 1885 as Lowell Co-operative Bank.[2]
In January 2009, the bank was recapitalized though a supervisory stock conversion, converting from a mutual co-operative bank to a stock co-operative bank.[3][4]
In December 2010, the bank acquired the assets of Omega Mortgage Corporation.[3][5]
In 2013, the bank changed its name to Sage Bank.[3]
In November 2014, Richard E. Bolton Jr., the president, CEO, and chairman, and Dean L. Kenney, the executive vice president and chief financial officer, both resigned after a shareholder dispute and disagreement with the direction of the bank.[6]
In August 2019, Salem Five Bank closed its acquisition of Lowell-based Sage Bank, an entity with $140 million in assets and 68 employees. [7]
