Needham Bank Announces Medford Expansion Plan

NEEDHAM, Mass., Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Needham Bank is opening a new banking center in Medford and expanding its office space to better serve small and medium sized business and commercial real estate clients, and to accommodate its growing cannabis banking practice. Located at 270 Mystic Avenue, the facility will have a full-service branch to serve consumers and businesses and a Specialized Banking Center (SBC) to serve cannabis and money service businesses. It is scheduled to be completed by year-end 2022.

The new branch will feature a drive-up ATM, night deposit box, coin machine, private office space, community meeting space and state-of-the-art upgrades, including a new technology wall for customers to enjoy.

"We are excited to establish a branch in Medford, allowing us to expand our retail banking footprint and better serve customers in the area," remarked Joe Campanelli, Chairman, President & CEO.

The new Specialized Banking Center will serve cannabis banking and money business service customers on the first floor, and there will be office spaces, conference rooms and a kitchen upstairs for SBC employees and other commercial and residential banking personnel.

"The new Specialized Banking Center allows us to continue to assist customers' banking needs while remaining in the vicinity they are used to banking in—moving just down the road."
