Boston-based Beacon Financial Corp. said Monday it has completed the rebranding of its banking operations to Beacon Bank, months after finalizing a merger of equals that reshaped its presence in Connecticut and across the Northeast.
The name change follows the company’s September completion of the merger between Berkshire Hills Bancorp Inc., parent of the former Berkshire Bank, and Brookline Bancorp Inc., parent of Brookline Bank, Bank Rhode Island and PCSB Bank.
Beacon Bank said it now ranks among the 100 largest banks in the United States and operates more than 145 branches and commercial centers across New England and New York with $24 billion in assets.
In Connecticut, the bank maintains 11 branches in the Greater Hartford area, including West Hartford, Glastonbury, Rocky Hill, West Simsbury, Farmington, Colchester, Enfield, Hebron, Lebanon, Mansfield and Windsor.
The Connecticut network traces largely to Berkshire Bank’s earlier expansion strategy. Berkshire entered the Hartford market through its 2012 acquisition of Connecticut Bank and Trust Co. and later expanded in eastern Connecticut with its 2019 purchase of Savings Institute Bank and Trust Co.
Company officials said customers will continue to access services through existing branches and digital banking platforms.
