This year, only five Massachusetts companies were named to Fortune magazine’s 100 fastest-growing companies list. Belmont Savings was the sole bank from New England to receive this recognition. It is one of only seven savings banks included in this highly selective list.

“It is an honor to be recognized by Fortune as one of the nation’s 100 fastest-growing companies,” said Bob Mahoney, president and CEO of Belmont Savings Bank. “Being featured on this list alongside companies like Facebook and Amazon validates the ongoing success of our growth-driven strategy, which continues to serve our customers, shareholders and community with distinction.”

The recognition from Fortune follows Belmont Savings’ recent inclusion as one of Sandler O’Neill’s Sm-All Stars, which identifies outstanding annual performance for small-cap banks and thrifts in the United States. The Sandler O’Neill Sm-All Stars Class of 2017 consists of only 29 institutions out of a universe of 404 publicly traded banks and thrifts with a market cap below $2.5 billion. Belmont Savings was included as the only Massachusetts bank to earn this recognition in the Class of 2017.
