NY Political Leaders Honor Country Bank's 30th Anniversary

More than 50 Bronx officials, business leaders and customers came out on Saturday, April 7th to commemorate Country Bank’s 30th anniversary. The special event at the bank’s Woodlawn Branch began with a Ribbon Cutting Rededication Ceremony, followed by State Assemblyman Michael Benedetto from the 82nd Districtpresenting the Murphy family with an official proclamation in honor of the family-controlled bank’s milestone.

In addition to CEO Nunzio Del Greco and members of the Bronx Chamber of Commerce, former Assemblywoman June Eisland, and representatives from the Bronx Tax Payer Association and Kingsbridge Riverdale Van Cortlandt Corp. honored the bank as a vital contributor to the local economy.

Chairman Joseph M. Murphy and the entire Murphy family were there to show their appreciation for Country Bank’s Bronx customers and business partners.

“As a New York-based bank, the Bronx community has meant so much to us over the years and have contributed to our success,” said Joseph Murphy, “We’re grateful to those who came to celebrate with us and we hope all of our customers know how much we value them.”

Guests were treated to a delicious spread of refreshments, including a dessert bar featuring 30th anniversary decorated cupcakes. There were also special giveaways and promotions. Everyone received a lavish gift bag with commemorative coffee mugs, shamrock seeds, pens, and notepads, all with the famous Country Bank green logo.

“Country Bank truly lives up to its new motto, ‘Here you are Family’,” said longtime customer Jack O’Shea, president of the Bronx-based Start Elevator Company. “This is a bank I can trust to safeguard my money and to treat me like a personal friend, not just a customer. That’s very important to me operating a family business myself.”

Country Bank is also looking forward to welcoming new customers into its family as the Bank of America branch near Country Bank’s Woodlawn location will be closing soon.
