With its community at the forefront, The First Bank of Greenwich provides security and top-of-the-line service to individuals from small to large businesses.
“Customers deserve real people and protection they can count on, and that”™s what they get at The First Bank of Greenwich,” says President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Gaudio. Native to Westchester, he”™s committed to helping local businesses and the community thrive. “Loans and accounts don”™t make a bank. First-class customer service does.”
At The First Bank of Greenwich, that means putting customers”™ needs and security first. Across three area banking centers and beyond, the institution provides powerful personal, business, and commercial banking solutions backed by unbeatable protection.
“We”™re all about our customers. Sometimes we go overboard on keeping them secure,” says Gaudio, alluding to the bank”™s expanded fraud protection and deposit insurance options on high-dollar accounts. Partnered with IntraFi®, The First Bank of Greenwich ensures better peace of mind with access to multimillion-dollar FDIC insurance on large deposits””up to $50 million on funds placed in a certificate of deposit and $100 million on money market deposit accounts.
Beyond that, customers enjoy direct access to lending and banking experts they know and trust, including Gaudio and Chief Operating Officer Mark McMillen. Both stress the importance of maintaining relevancy in the communities they serve.
“Technology is only as good as the people behind it. We provide the same digital tools as bigger banks and staff our branches with friendly employees who can help face-to-face,” says McMillen.
“Community banks are the lifeblood of the American economy,” Gaudio adds. “We know our communities and provide vital support to the small businesses that drive our economy forward.”
Committed to Every Customer
Subject to different rules and regulations, the community banking system remains safe and secure despite sector-wide uncertainty. “Prudent lending and sound risk management ensure our financial stability,” Gaudio explains. True to that ethos, The First Bank of Greenwich proudly boasts an $9 million lending limit and a zero percent delinquency rate for the last 4 consecutive quarters.
Yet Gaudio says staying accountable to customers, as well as our shareholders, sets The First Bank of Greenwich apart. “Whether they have $2 or $2 million in the bank, every customer is important. And when you forget that, you fail,” he says.
A true community bank, The First Bank of Greenwich is deeply invested in supporting local nonprofit organizations. The institution provides invaluable opportunities community wide, from Charitable Checking programs and financial literacy courses to Women”™s Leadership and B2B Networks.
“Supporting our community starts right here,” says Gaudio. “Our strongest asset is our people. We built our team like we developed our bank: one relationship at a time.”
“We”™re committed to this community because we live here, too. We know Westchester. We know Fairfield,” echoes McMillen. “Customers immediately feel at home when they walk into The First Bank of Greenwich. And we”™ll do everything we can to keep it that way.”
