Over the past year and a half, we have undergone significant changes – evolving our corporate structure, adapting our physical spaces, welcoming new colleagues, refining policies and procedures, upgrading operating systems, refreshing our brand, and most recently, transitions in leadership. Through it all, our dedication to delivering excellence has remained unwavering. This commitment is the cornerstone of our identity – we are Pentucket Bank!

To our dedicated team: I extend my deepest gratitude. Your hard work, creativity, and unwavering support are the driving forces behind our success. Whether on the front lines, collaborating behind the scenes, or leading with vision and integrity, your contributions are invaluable.

Looking forward, as we endure challenges, I have full confidence in our ability to rise above them together. This is possible due to our shared commitment to innovation and teamwork that will continue to propel us forward as we strive for greater achievements and impact, which has been the case since 1891.

We remain steadfast in our mission and values, drawing strength from our shared purpose. Together, we will shape a future that reflects our collective aspirations and continues to make a positive impact, both at the Bank and in the communities we serve.

Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. It is a privilege to lead this exceptional team.

About our CEO:

Stephen Jaskelevicus is a lifelong resident of the Merrimack Valley. A Haverhill native, Steve earned his BA in Finance at Merrimack College before settling down in Haverhill with his wife Monica to raise their now adult sons, Stephen and Michael.

Steve has over thirty-five years of experience in the banking industry, with the past fifteen years spent at Pentucket Bank. While his experience is broad, his focus has always been on helping people and businesses in the Merrimack Valley thrive. As a long-time Commercial Lender, Steve has worked with countless businesses in Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire, from start-ups to some of the area’s largest employers. Steve’s steadfast commitment to his customers has made an incredible impact on the landscape of business throughout the region.

His passion extends to his volunteer roles as well. Steve currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Greater Haverhill Foundation (First Vice President), The Griffin White Foundation (Treasurer), and as a volunteer fundraiser for Haverhill Senior Baseball. He has previously served on the Board for Fidelity House (now Waystone) and is a past member of the Haverhill Kiwanis Club, Haverhill Revolving Loan Fund, and Lawrence Partnership.

Inside the Bank, Steve - or Stevie J. as he is fondly known – is a true leader. His industry and institutional knowledge make him an incredible resource for the team, while his kind-hearted and even-keeled personality are perfectly representative of the stability and strength of the Bank that he leads.

Steve enjoys competitive sports, including baseball, basketball, and cycling. Steve is frequently spotted on weekends supporting local restaurants with Monica, though they also enjoy spending time at home with their expanding family.
