PRESS RELEASE
(for immediate release)
Berks County Bank has announced it intends to open a full service
office in Boyertown, along East Philadelphia Avenue (Route 73) in
Montgomery County.
The new Boyertown Office, which will be similar in style to the
bank's Exeter, Wyomissing, Pottstown, Muhlenberg, and Shillington
Offices, will offer a full range of deposit and loan products as
well as drive up, night deposit, safe deposit and 24-hour ATM
services. This office will also provide extended hours for the
convenience of today's busy customers.
Nelson R. Oswald, President, commented that "the new office is
being constructed due to numerous requests from existing
customers as well as requests from individuals and small
businesses for a Berks County Bank Office in the greater
Boyertown area."
The Boyertown Office, which will be Berks County Bank's 7th, is
expected to open in the spring. Berks County Bank also operates
Mortgage and Loan Centers in Berks, Bucks, Chester, Lehigh,
Montgomery, and Schuylkill Counties.
