\nCommunity Bank Now Manages 20 Branches in New Jersey & Lehigh Valley, Pa.
\n<\/h2>\n
\n

FORT LEE, N.J., Feb. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Unity Bank<\/a> has opened a new full service branch in Fort Lee, increasing its service footprint to 20 branches and enhancing its retail presence in Bergen County. The new branch is located at 899 Palisade Avenue at the intersection with Columbia Avenue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to Bergen County and Fort Lee is a natural fit to our footprint,\u201d said Unity Bank President & CEO James A. Hughes. \u201cBanking services at the branch level are increasingly important to our customers, particularly small business owners who still, even in the age of electronic banking, rely on branches. Community banks are engines for economic growth and we are focused on bringing that drive to Bergen County.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unity is bringing a local flavor to the 1890 square foot branch. The facility features the abstract landscape oil paintings of Bergen County artist Sol Zaretsky<\/a> of Teaneck. Unity purchased several of Zaretsky\u2019s paintings through its program to support local artists in communities where it has branches.<\/p>\n

The facility, previously operated by another bank, includes dedicated parking and drive-up banking and ATM services. Surrounding businesses include an insurance company, salon and a dentist.<\/p>\n

Ryan Peene, Unity Bank\u2019s Senior Vice President\/Chief Depository Officer, who is well known in the Bergen County and Hudson County communities for his leadership roles on the City of Hoboken Planning Board and Greater Bergen Community Action, leads the development of the Fort Lee branch and all of Unity\u2019s retail banking operations. The Fort Lee team also includes Franca Fabrizio, Area Manager; Sunita Pereira, Operations Manager; Vince Forma, Commercial Lender; Kathleen Hay, SBA Lender; and Mortgage Lenders Nicholas Aversa and Pasquale Grande.<\/p>\n

Fort Lee is the second new branch opened by Unity in the last two months. In December, the bank opened a branch in Lakewood in Ocean County. Unity Bank now provides financial services to retail, corporate and small business customers in Bergen, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Ocean, Somerset, Union and Warren Counties in New Jersey and Northampton County in Pennsylvania. The bank holds about $2.4 billion in assets and $1.8 billion in deposits.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnity is committed to supporting small businesses and families,\u201d said Hughes. \u201cThe new branches are bringing our full suite of products and services to the local marketplace. We are helping launch small businesses, grow existing companies and enable families to purchase a house, or put an addition on their existing home.\u201d<\/p>\n
