Simsbury Bank

The impending merger between Liberty Bank and Simsbury Bank has stoked their peers’ interest in a way not seen in years, if ever.

SBT Bancorp., parent of Simsbury Bank & Trust Co., says state and federal bank regulators have given final blessing to its $71 million all-cash combination with Middletown’s Liberty Bank.

SBT Bancorp Inc. posted lower second-quarter net income after absorbing expenses tied to the pending $71 million merger of its flagship Simsbury Bank & Trust into Middletown lender Liberty Bank.

Stockholders in the parent of Simsbury Bank & Trust moved a step closer to merging with Middletown’s Liberty Bank with their vote approving the $71 million combination.
