Bank Bolsters Commitment to Connecticut with a High-tech Retail Banking Office

Pittsfield, MA – Berkshire Bank announced the opening of its newest branch in Simsbury, CT located at 16 Albany Turnpike, bringing the number of Berkshire Bank locations in Connecticut to eight.

In addition, the community is invited to visit the Simsbury branch during their open house week from Monday, April 23 through Friday, April 27 to meet the team, tour the branch, receive demonstrations of the new branch technology and have the opportunity to obtain giveaways. Berkshire's new Simsbury branch features a modern interior design aimed at improving the customer experience with an open layout, MyTellerSM virtual teller technology with extended banking hours and comfortable meeting spaces where customers can talk privately with our bankers to plan their financial road map.
