“We are excited to have a physical presence in Newport and be able to continue to meet the financial needs of the community, now with an added level of convenience,” Will Tsonos, CEO and president of BankRI, said in a statement. “This is all about being accessible to customers and embracing an opportunity to move into an area where we can further support and grow relationships.”

The new branch compliments BankRI’s existing presence in Middletown and a growing base of customers in the surrounding island communities, the bank said. The Newport branch is led by manager Brooke Darcy, a BankRI veteran of more than seven years and a resident of Aquidneck Island.
