AT WASHINGTON TRUST, we've been here for depositors, borrowers,
and investors for 222+ years—helping our communities weather challenging
times and celebrate good ones. We care about our neighbors, families,
friends, and local businesses because we're a local business, too. As
a community bank, we're committed to doing what's right for our employees,
our customers, and our communities. What's best for you is what's good for
us. Understanding that fundamental idea has been the key to our success.
As the nation's oldest community bank, we're proud of our long history
of strength and stability. Through prudent and disciplined management,
we remain well-capitalized, have strong credit quality and liquidity, and
consistently rank as one of the region's top-performing banks. We manage
risk effectively and recognize growing long-term value is better than
chasing short-term gains.
We recently expanded our Connecticut presence with a new commercial
lending office in New Haven. This complements our mortgage and wealth
management offices, so whether you're looking to buy your first home,
expand your business, or plan for retirement—we're here for you.
At Washington Trust, we truly believe local banking is good for local
business. We couldn't be more proud and excited to bring our brand
of stable, personally attentive financial services to Connecticut to help
our customers throughout all stages of their lives.
Sincerely,
Edward O. "Ned" Handy
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
