United Bank recently held its launch party and ribbon-cutting at its new headquarters at 55 Greens Farms Road in Westport.
United Bank is a state-chartered bank headquartered in Glastonbury with more than 50 branches across Massachusetts and Connecticut. Its plans include expanding to lower Fairfield County, offering commercial lending, investments, treasury management and residential lending. The bank has $5.7 billion in assets.
In what it terms “a historic merger of equals” United Bank merged with Rockville Bank in 2014. Senior Vice President Maureen Hanley-Bellitto of the Fairfield County region said this is the time to grow.
“We couldn”™t be happier,” she said. “The space is sleek and innovative and brings our beautiful surroundings inside to our offices. It is a space we are very proud of. As Fairfield County enterprises and businesses emerge from the recession they will need a strong Banking partner. We are positioned well to provide all the services and products to help businesses expand, thrive and to succeed. It”™s nice to see cranes again across our landscape and shovels in the ground and we are pleased to be involved in some of those projects.”
