Fairfield County Bank Offers Cash Prizes and Premium Deposit Products to Launch New Branch in Fairfield

Ridgefield, CT- On December 3, 2005, Fairfield County Bank will open its third branch in Fairfield Connecticut, at 255 Tunxis Hill Road. To celebrate the grand opening and welcome new customers, the bank is offering a cash giveaway, a $1,000 sweepstakes, premium interest rate Money Market Accounts and Certificates of deposit as well as gift certificates for special banking packages.

The Tunxis Hill Road branch will provide additional coverage for a community already served by Fairfield County Bank branches at 1312 Post Road and 1899 Bronson Road. This 3,600 square foot office will have extended hours, drive-up services, ATMs, self-service coin counters, and outstanding service. ”I am really excited about the opportunity this new branch offers to extend the convenience of our bank to the entire Fairfield community,” says Robert Connelly, President, Westport-Fairfield Division. “Adding this branch as our third in Fairfield will provide residents and businesses with a chance to experience first-hand our superior service and commitment to excellence - the way we focus on each market we serve in the way a hometown community bank should. We’re active in the community, sponsor charitable events, and work one-on-one with local businesses to help them succeed. After all, when our customers succeed, we succeed.”

“Fistful of Dollars” is the cash giveaway program that will run from December 3-15. Visitors to the branch can grab and keep one handful of change and at the same time be entered in the $1,000 sweepstakes.

Fairfield County Bank is also offering outstanding checking products and savings products to both businesses and consumers who open new accounts at the branch. A Premium Business Money Market Account with an annual percentage yield of 4.00% is available with a $25,000 deposit.  Equally attractive rates are available at other deposit amounts. For consumers, the bank is offering Six-Month and Seventeen-Month Certificates of Deposit with APYs of 4.17% and 4.57%, respectively. All new accounts opened are eligible for Gift Certificate Rewards at participating Fairfield Merchants. Bob Connelly added, “We believe this is a clear demonstration of our commitment to the community of Fairfield and to our expanded presence in Fairfield County. It really makes sense when we say, Your County, Your Bank.”
