NECB was founded as the American Banking Institute (ABI) in 1909, the institute was later incorporated by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1914.

In 1988, the member banks associated with ABI expanded throughout New England and later voted to change the name to the New England Banking Institute.
Following the adoption of the name The New England Banking Institute (NEBI), NEBI received official licensure from the state of Connecticut Department of Higher Education in 1990. Connecticut was the first state outside of Massachusetts to recognize Boston-based NEBI as a degree-granting college.
