PCSB Bank Announces New Branch in Pawling

PCSB Bank has announced a new branch opening at 144 Route 22 in Pawling, NY. The 2,650-square-foot facility—nearly double the size of its previous Pawling location—is newly constructed and customized for the bank.

The branch was launched with a ribbon-cutting ceremony that was attended by community leaders, local dignitaries, and bank officials.

“The new Pawling branch reflects our commitment to expanding our ability to meet customer needs while maintaining the focus on our “True Local, True Banking” style of personalized service. This is the foundation of our philosophy,” says Joseph D. Roberto, chairman, president and chief executive officer of PCSB Bank. “As a community-based bank, we are dedicated to helping consumers and businesses in the area grow and achieve their financial goals.”

The Pawling addition is the latest development in a period of unprecedented growth and change for PCSB Bank, which recently changed its name from Putnam County Savings Bank after more than 140 years. Following its acquisition of CMS Bancorp, PCSB Bank now operates 15 banking centers in Westchester, Dutchess, Putnam, and Rockland counties.

“Our size and structure allow for a high level of flexibility, especially as it relates to consumer and commercial lending options,” says Robert Farrier, PCSB’s senior vice president and retail banking officer. “Unlike larger banks, decisions are made locally right here so we are able to move quickly when our clients need it most. We are part of the fabric of the communities we serve and truly understand our customers—which is very important in today’s complex economy.”

Christopher Boemio, assistant treasurer, will serve as branch manager in Pawling. He has worked for PCSB since 2005 and previously served as assistant branch manager of its Somers branch. Patricia Sullivan, one of PCSB’s longest term employees, will serve as assistant branch manager.

The new Pawling location will offer a full array of banking services, from deposit accounts to a diverse choice of lending products for both consumer and business customers. Personal banking features free checking, savings accounts, certificate of deposit accounts, and retirement plans, as well as many options for mortgages, home equity loans and lines of credit, and personal loans. Business banking offers business checking accounts, lines of credit, working capital loans, commercial mortgages, merchant services, and payroll direct deposit, among other services.

Expanded hours of operation and a spacious, modern facility are designed to enhance the banking experience. Lobby hours are: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 am –

4 pm; Thursday 9 am – 6 pm, and Saturday 9 am – 1 pm. Drive up hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 am – 5 pm; Thursday 8:30 am – 6:30 pm; and Saturday 9 am – 1 pm. A 24-hour ATM is also available.
