As though the neighborhood isn't already saturated with banks, it would appear that a relatively small Long Island bank is about to open a branch at 227 Smith Street. The space was most recently occupied by family-owned artisanal pasta restaurant Pazzi Pasta, which folded in early 2017.
First National Bank of Long Island has about 50 branches all over Long Island and has recently expanded into Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn. It was founded in 1927 as The First National Bank of Glen Head and officially changed its name to its current one in 1978.
According to its web site, the bank "where everyone knows your name" is committed "to deliver quality, personalized service to affluent consumers, small businesses, middle market prospects and professionals such as doctors, dentists, attorneys and CPA's. Our outstanding service is what differentiates us from our competition. All of our branches are staffed by knowledgeable and professional account officers with broad based banking expertise, who focus on building relationships, not transactions. We offer a complete array of consumer and business banking products, including Checking and Savings accounts, Commercial and Residential Lending Services and Investment Management products and services."
Are you excited about a smaller, 'friendlier' bank opening its doors in the neighborhood, or would you rather the commercial space had been taken over by a new eatery?
*Is it just us or is the mention of 'affluent consumers' a bit nauseating?
**Note to First National Bank, in case they see the post: You are opening a branch in Boerum Hill, NOT in Cobble Hill.
