Community Connection: Events & Updates to Serve You

Chelsea Groton Lending Center in Glastonbury, CT
Chelsea Groton Bank is excited to have an office presence extend into Hartford County. The Connecticut Department of Banking approved Chelsea Groton Bank to open a Loan Production Office (LPO) in Glastonbury. Retail and commercial lending personnel will be based in the LPO to better assist individuals, families and businesses in Hartford County and the surrounding communities with finding financial solutions that best meet their needs. The office is scheduled to open later this summer.

For 161 years, Chelsea Groton Bank has served the needs of individuals and businesses throughout Connecticut and Rhode Island. While the Bank's retail footprint is located throughout New London County, the Bank has grown its residential and business lending presence in Middlesex and Hartford counties through referrals from satisfied customers and business associates. Having lending personnel based in this contiguous market will help the Bank more successfully conduct business in an area it's been for some time.
