Bankwell Financial Group has applied to the Connecticut Department of Banking for approval to open a branch in Darien at 1063 Boston Post Road.
The move follows the closing earlier this year of a loan office at 855 Main St. in Bridgeport, which had opened in 2012. Bankwell subsequently acquired two banks, The Wilton Bank and Quinnipiac Bank & Trust.
Following the Bridgeport closing, the New Canaan-based bank “redeployed our team members to more efficiently utilize the space acquired during these two acquisitions,” according to a spokesperson.
