Thomas J. Kemly, President and CEO of Columbia Bank, is pleased to announce the grand opening of their 52nd full-service branch location in New Jersey, located at 161 East Main Street in Ramsey. The new full-service branch is managed by Lindsey Kristoff.
Columbia’s grand opening specials include promotional Certificates of Deposit (CDs), Checking Accounts that feature high yields or free streaming subscriptions, and a Home Equity Line of Credit designed for debt consolidation or getting started with your “dream project.” An exclusive free gift will also be given to the first 100 visitors, while supplies last.
As part of Columbia’s community support efforts, for each new account opened meeting certain deposit requirements through the end of the year, the bank will donate $10 to one of four Ramsey-based charities or community organizations – Ramsey Relay for Life, Ramsey Rescue Squad, Ramsey Responds and the Ramsey Volunteer Fire Department. In addition to the donations, the top three designated organizations will receive an added bonus of $2,500, $1,000 or $500, depending on their final vote totals.
According to Mr. Kemly, “We look forward to bringing full-service personal and business banking to Ramsey and its surrounding communities. Columbia prides itself on offering an impressive selection of convenient, value-added banking services…from checking and savings accounts…to loans and residential mortgages…to online and mobile banking with free applications that turn your mobile device into your personal 24/7 banker…to commercial and SBA loans, lines of credit and business banking services designed to help any business grow.” The bank also offers retirement, health savings, wealth management and title services.
Columbia’s new Ramsey office has been designed around an enhanced customer experience featuring the latest in banking technology, including a video message screen, digital rate display and an “Intelligent ATM,” plus a modern interior design, low profile service units, private conference areas, and a coin counter. Mr. Kemly also noted that “visitors to our new branch will always receive quality services, second to none!”
