Why Choose Us

There are lots of banks who will loan you money for your business, but there are several reasons why Bar Harbor Bank & Trust is the partner you need.

Fast, Local Decision Making

Entrepreneurs do everything for their business and securing financing is just another task on a long to-do list. That’s why we have streamlined our approval process to help you get the financing you need fast. For many of our small business clients, the process to apply, get approved, and get a loan can happen in a day or two.

Relationship Approach

We invest in and value long-term customer relationships. Our bankers take the time to truly understand your business and respective goals and challenges. Even after we approve your financing, we will be there to answer any questions you have or offer whatever assistance or guidance you might need.

We are trusted advisors that you can sit down with during the application process and any time after.

Competitive rates
