Bank Thanked For Support Of Legally Needy

Rockville Bank received a Connecticut Bar Foundation 2009 Platinum Leadership Bank award for its support of the foundation’s Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Accounts Program (IOLTA) which funds legal services for Connecticut residents in financial need. During this time of low interest rates, the IOLTA Platinum Leadership Banks and Leadership Banks have volunteered to pay a net yield higher than the yield they are required to pay on IOLTA. The additional interest generated by these banks provides funding for legal services to low-income residents during a critical period of need. Pictured, from left, are: William J.
