This Patch article is sponsored by Blue Foundry Bank.

Headquartered in Rutherford, NJ and operating 16 branches throughout Bergen, Essex, Morris and Passaic counties, Blue Foundry Bank is a place that gets things done for the movers, shakers and makers it serves. Dedicated to individual support, Blue Foundry Bank offers a comprehensive line of products and services including personal and business banking and lending, to support clients’ financial goals and investment for growth. With its Universal Bankers acting more as partners, the process will be less about banking and more about living.

Patch had the chance to chat with Alicia A. Motta, Chatham Branch Manager at Blue Foundry Bank, about her role in the community.

Patch: How long have you been doing business in town, or how long has your organization been around in the community?

Motta: Blue Foundry Bank recently celebrated the grand opening of its new Chatham branch location on May 1, 2021. So, we're fairly new to the Chatham community but have deep roots within the New Jersey community with 16 branches throughout New Jersey.

Patch: What attracted you to the line of work you’re in, and how did you get started?

Motta: I enjoy interacting with people as well as helping them explore financial solutions. My first position as a teller in the banking industry offered me the opportunity to delve into these areas of interest and ultimately led me down the perfect career path.

Patch: If you had to sum up your business mission to a stranger in five words, what would those words be?

Motta: Dedicated, service-oriented, responsive, approachable, passionate.

Patch: What’s the biggest challenge or most difficult moment you’ve faced in your job?

Motta: Opening a branch for the first time and from the bottom up is truly a challenge but the local community has been welcoming and the support of the Blue Foundry Bank team was outstanding, making this an exceptional experience.

Patch: What’s the most satisfying part of your job?

Motta: Helping customers reach their financial goals by providing the tools and expertise to help them do so successfully.

Patch: How would you say your business or organization distinguishes itself from the others?

Motta: We’re more than just a bank, and we serve as a hub for strengthening the community which is why it’s at the heart of everything we do. Blue Foundry Bank is invested in making a difference in the lives of our customers here in the community, not just through our banking services, but through our philanthropic commitments including our work with organizations like the Family Promise of Morris County and Chatham Education Foundation, two nonprofits we partnered with as a part of our Chatham grand opening. We’re a different kind of banking experience, and to showcase this we’ve rolled out our “Blue is Here for You” service delivered by dedicated, knowledgeable Universal Bankers. From everyday banking needs to longer-term financial goals, clients will receive the individual support they need to get the most out of their Blue Foundry banking relationship.

Patch: What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given when it comes to success?

Motta: Listen more than you speak which is an important skill when you are being entrusted to help individuals, businesses and the community experience financial success.

Patch: Are there any new projects or endeavors you’re working on that you’re extra excited about? If so, what details can you share and what makes it so exciting?

Motta: I am most excited to build a new business in the Chatham community and offer a reimagined banking experience for all. Our newly designed branch offers an open space where you can conduct all aspects of your business in one area while collaborating with our team.
