Patriot Bank's newest location in Stamford is now officially open.

The state-of-the-art building on Bedford Street is right across the street from the company's headquarters and is over 10,000-square feet.

The bank expanded to meet their growing number of employees and their desire to make the bank more convenient and user-friendly.

“The message is that this [is] a new era of banking for Patriot again, moving into a more interactive experience for our customers without giving up the normal face-to-face you would have with our professional bankers here,” says Rick Muskus, president of Patriot Bank.

Patriot will be open six days a week, with late hours on Friday.
