SWANSEA – BayCoast Bank opened its newest branch, located in Berkley, on Feb. 4, the Swansea-based bank’s 19th branch serving southeastern Massachusetts, the bank said.
Berkley resident Diane Tavares will serve as the new branch’s manager. Located at 2 Locust St., the Berkley branch office is a newly constructed building situated in the Berkley Common Historic District. It offers ample parking and full-service banking in the lobby, including a self-service coin machine, instant-issue debit/ATM cards, foreign-currency exchange and other services, the bank said.
In addition, the branch has two drive-up ITM/ATMs. Withdrawals, deposits, loan payments, check cashing, transfers between accounts and other transactions are among the features offered at the ITM, or interactive teller machine.
“We’re excited to announce the opening of our Berkley branch and delighted that Diane [Tavares] will take a lead post,” said BayCoast President and CEO Nicholas Christ. “Expanding our presence into the Berkley area has been a priority for BayCoast Bank. With Diane’s experience in banking and her knowledge of the area, we look forward to a long relationship in this outstanding community.”
BayCoast is the fourth-largest consumer bank in Bristol County, Mass., based on market share of deposits.
