Harold M. Horvat | Centreville Bank chairman, CEO and president
Almost 195 years after our founding, Centreville Bank continues to feel a personal responsibility to serve the communities that built us. We channel our services into the neighborhoods where our customers live and work. As a mutual bank, meaning there are no stockholders, our investment perspective is long term.
Investing in communities pays dividends. Together over the past eight years, Centreville Bank’s total assets have doubled to $2.02 billion.
Having 17 branches across Rhode Island and Connecticut means we support southern New Englanders, including first-time homebuyers, small-business owners and real estate investors. Whether it is Narragansett, Cranston or Warwick, our roots go deep. “Caring for the community” aren’t just words to us; it is a way of life.
We have always focused on building successful relationships and investments, and everyone has the power to do this.
What lessons can we share?
• Build a workforce that represents your clients and communities.
• Promote community engagement at all levels: volunteerism, board membership and advocacy.
• Operate “beyond the check.” To make a real difference in your communities, provide your team time and talent, as well as treasure.
