In June 1960, the merger of the First National Bank of Bath with the First National Bank of Portland, formerly the Portland National Bank became effective. The merger was part of a three-way banking transaction which also saw the Thomaston National Bank merge with the Bath and Portland banks.

In August 1970, the Maine National Bank (MNB) acquired The First National Bank of Pittsfield. In 1972, MNB acquired The Kezar Falls National Bank. In 1981 it acquired The First National Bank of Biddeford. In 1982 it acquired Merchants National Bank of Bangor.
