“We’re incredibly proud to bring these updates to our community and our team in celebration of our 170th year,” said Anne Tangen, President and CEO of BankFive. “This renovation is about more than just a building. It's a reflection of who we are today and where we’re headed. We’ve created a space that blends our rich history with the modern tools and environment our customers and employees deserve.”
As BankFive planned renovations to its Corporate Office, the vision was to create a space that embodied the bank’s core values: Human, Dynamic, and Steadfast. With portions of the building dating back to the early 1900s and others more than 25 years old, it was time for a transformation that went beyond aesthetics to reflect BankFive’s identity and forward-thinking approach.
The redesigned headquarters honors the building’s historic character while showcasing the bank’s commitment to personalized service, cutting-edge technology, and long-standing community values. The result is a modern, welcoming environment that fosters collaboration and supports BankFive’s team, aligning with its recognition as one of the region’s Top Places to Work.
As part of the project, the Main Street branch was relocated to an adjacent space at 141 North Main Street, improving customer accessibility with the addition of convenient parking. This multi-million dollar investment, the largest recent development in Fall River, reinforces BankFive’s commitment to innovation, growth, and exceptional service.
BankFive invited the community to celebrate their new office and anniversary on Wednesday. They were joined by Fall River Mayor Paul Coogan and other local officials. Following the ribbon cutting ceremony, BankFive hosted a Business After Hours cocktail reception with One Southcoast Chamber of Commerce.
