United Bank of Hartford plans to open a new full-service bank branch at 374 Post Road East in Westport.

Pending regulatory approval, the Westport branch would be United”™s second planned bank branch location in Fairfield County, following the announcement earlier this year that it plans a full-service branch at 415 Greenwich Ave. in Greenwich. In February 2015, United Bank opened a loan production office at 55 Greens Farms Road in Westport.

“By adding a second United Bank branch in Fairfield County, we will be supporting the growth of our commercial, business and mortgage banking lines of business in that market,” said CEO and President William H.W. Crawford IV.

Crawford said the bank anticipates opening the Westport branch in the fourth quarter of this year.
