United Bank CEO HW Crawford, IV said: “In addition to strengthening our core deposit and customer relationship base, our strategic purchase of these six branches enhances our already strong presence in Western Mass where we enjoy significant franchise value, builds greater brand recognition and delivers new banking opportunities along the Connecticut shoreline – which will be a strong market for us and grows our branch banking network into new markets in Connecticut and Rhode Island.”

Following the closure of the deal, United Bank is also expected to carry out branch consolidation process in the Springfield region.

The company noted that the existing customers at these six branches will continue to receive all banking services, while United Bank will send a package of information to all of them before their account and branch conversions.
