Rague is a graduate of Old Orchard Beach High School and Emmanuel College in Boston. Before the promotion, he held the title of assistant branch manager, a role that Thornton Academy graduate Tyler Lebel will take over with Rague's promotion. 

“Applying at Saco & Biddeford Savings Institution was one of the best decisions I ever made," Rague said. "Finding a career in my hometown gave me the opportunity to serve the communities I grew up in, and I love so much.”

As Old Orchard Beach continues to grow, Rague’s goal is to listen to the people, businesses, and organizations as they continue to expand and find ways Saco & Biddeford Savings can help.  

Lebel earned an accounting degree from Merrimack College in Massachusetts after graduating from Thornton Academy in 2015. He joined Saco & Biddeford Savings as a seasonal employee and turned the opportunity into something more permanent when he became a full-time customer relationship associate.

“I have exceptional co-workers, and I’ve had the chance to work in every one of our branches,” said Lebel. “The customers we have in Old Orchard have deep community roots, and that’s what I love most about working in this location.” 

The management changes follow the retirement of Carolyn Lamontagne after 43 years of service to the Old Orchard Beach community.  

Founded in 1827, Saco & Biddeford Savings is Maine’s oldest bank, has $1.14 billion in assets and employs 193 people at seven branches. Saco & Biddeford Savings was ranked No. 13 among the largest Maine-based banks in the 2022 Mainebiz Book of Lists as of June 30, 2021.
