History
On May 1, 1969, Century Bank and Trust Company officially opened its doors in a temporary trailer parked on the M.D.C.'s sidewalk at 102 Fellsway West in Somerville. The Bank's beginning started in early 1968 with the idea of one man, Marshall M. Sloane,[4] as there was a great need for a community-based commercial bank in Somerville. By November 21, 1968, he and 20 other businessmen were granted a charter to establish the Century Bank & Trust Company. On January 10, 1969 Century Bank was incorporated, becoming the first new bank in Somerville since the mid-1800s. Opening day in the trailer saw President Marshall M. Sloane and seven employees realize the fruits of their labor. Without any promotional efforts, the new bank took in $1.1 million in deposits for a profitable first day. In four weeks, deposits had grown to $4 million; in eight weeks they were over $7 million; and by December 31, 1969, the total assets had passed the $17 million mark. Century Bank had become the fastest growing bank in Massachusetts history in its first year of operation.[citation needed]
Today
Century Bank is a lender to local businesses, municipalities, not-for-profit organizations and families. Now headquartered in Medford, MA, Century Bank employs more than four hundred staff.[5]
Century Bank is acknowledged annually in the Boston Globe 100 as one of the top performing publicly traded companies in Massachusetts.[6]
