The Branch will Host an Open House for Central Oregon Community Members
Washington Trust Bank, the largest privately held full-service commercial bank in the Northwest, will celebrate the grand opening of its Bend Financial Center from 3-6pm on Wednesday, June 8. Community members are invited to visit the new branch, located at 1219 NE Third St., Ste. 120, to meet the Bend-based team and explore the many financial services available.
“The grand opening of the Bend Financial Center is a milestone in our commitment to serving our Central Oregon customers,” said Cory J. Allen, senior vice president and Central Oregon team lead for Washington Trust Bank. “Our team is fully equipped to support local personal and business banking clients’ needs directly from the financial center.”
Allen heads the Central Oregon team which includes ten employees, comprised of personal banking, small business banking, commercial banking and mortgage lending experts, with more than 90 years of combined experience serving Central Oregon communities.
Washington Trust Bank has enjoyed a growing presence in Oregon since it first entered the Portland market in 2005. Since then, Washington Trust Bank has assembled an Oregon-based commercial and industrial banking portfolio along with deposits totaling nearly $386 million and $373 million in assets within its trust and wealth management group.
“At Washington Trust Bank, we believe our region’s recovery will be driven by small businesses,” said Allen. “Our number one priority is to ensure that all our customers have the information and services they need to be successful in their personal and professional lives, which in turn supports the growth of the Central Oregon economy.”
Leading up to and directly after the open house, the Bend team will partner with local businesses and nonprofits to celebrate the grand opening. Team members will be volunteering within the community, surprising community members through Washington Trust Bank’s signature ‘Random Acts of Awesome,’ among other activities.
