First Bank Plans To Open New Branch In West Chester

HAMILTON, N.J. — First Bank announced Wednesday plans to open new branches in West Chester and Fairfield, N.J., to provide added convenience and customer service to families, small businessses and others.

The new, street-level West Chester location, which will open its doors on March 6, will be a full-service branch that provides the benefits of a community bank, including a night drop, ATM, and a drive-thru for added convenience.

“We continue to bring relationship-based, personal banking to more towns,” said Patrick L. Ryan, CEO and president of First Bank.

“We listen carefully, ask questions, and deliver solutions -solving problems, not selling products," he continued. "We give clients access to decision-makers and a place where market executives have real authority to build meaningful relationships that last."

The Fairfield branch, which plans to open on April 3, will serve as the community bank’s North Jersey headquarters.

The site will have a commercial-loan team of decision-makers who will strive to build long-term relationships within the community through prompt service, sage guidance and kept promises.

First Bank is committed to supporting Main Street.

When the business community needed help the most during the pandemic, First Bank helped provide nearly 2000 small businesses with critical Paycheck Protection Program relief, totaling about $300 million to save jobs on Main Street.
