HarborOne Bank

What HarborOne Bank does

HarborOne Bank was a New England-based community bank founded in 1917 and headquartered in Brockton, Massachusetts, serving individual consumers, small to mid-size businesses, and commercial clients across Massachusetts and surrounding states. The bank offered a full suite of retail and commercial banking products, including checking and savings accounts, certificates of deposit, mortgages, home equity lines of credit, personal and auto loans, SBA lending, commercial real estate financing, asset-based lending, franchise financing, innovation banking, and cash management services. Its revenue model was anchored in net interest income from its loan and deposit portfolio, supplemented by fee income from cash management, merchant services, and wealth management delivered through a partnership with Cambridge Trust. As the #1 SBA Lender in Massachusetts for 17 consecutive years, the bank differentiated on small-business lending expertise, local decision-making, and an extensive branch and ATM distribution network.

On November 1, 2025, Eastern Bankshares completed its $490 million acquisition of HarborOne Bancorp, merging HarborOne Bank into Eastern Bank and delisting HONE from NASDAQ. Post-merger, the combined entity operates as Eastern Bank with $25.11 billion in deposits, a $4.5 billion absorbed loan portfolio, $10.1 billion in record wealth assets, a 50.1% efficiency ratio (improved from above 57%), and management-projected 2026 net income of approximately $408 million. The merged franchise now distributes products through digital banking platforms, mobile apps, business digital banking, telephone banking, and an expanded branch network spanning New England, with strategic partnerships including Wood Partners for multifamily construction financing, Sallie Mae for student loan referrals, and the Eastern Bank Foundation for community development.
