Brookline Bank will become Beacon Bank on February 9, 2026.
As we previously announced, on September 1, 2025, Berkshire Hills Bancorp, the parent company of Berkshire Bank, and Brookline Bancorp, the parent company of Brookline Bank, BankRI and PCSB Bank, completed our merger of equals, creating our new company, Beacon Financial Corporation and its subsidiary, Beacon Bank & Trust. Read our press release.
As a result, until our planned integration of banking systems occurs in early February 2026, Brookline Bank will operate as a division of Beacon Bank & Trust, more commonly referred to as Beacon Bank.
This Information Hub will be continually updated to keep you informed about our merger. See below for the latest information on this transformational partnership.
