Santander Bank Opens Two New Branches In Brooklyn

BOSTON, Feb. 28, 2017

"With these new branches, we are pleased to now have a presence in the East Flatbush and Brownsville neighborhoods and introduce the Santander brand and our competitive products and services to the residents and business owners of these vibrant Brooklyn communities," said Elsie Leon-Cruz, region president for Santander's Metro New York/Northern New Jersey region. "Brooklyn is an important market to us and supporting leading non-profit organizations that contribute so much to this diverse community is a priority for Santander."

Brooklyn A works to advance social and economic justice through neighborhood-based legal representation and advocacy. They assist individuals, families, businesses, and non-profit organizations and will use Santander's $10,000 grant to support its Community and Economic Development Program.

HABNET, fosters higher business standards and encourages trade between Haitian diaspora communities and countries around the world and will use Santander's $2,000 gift to support the growth of Caribbean-American businesses in New York City.

Leon-Cruz added, "Whether it's advocating for housing, health care or education for low-income individuals or promoting entrepreneurship and civic engagement in underserved, immigrant communities, Brooklyn A and Haitian-American Business Network share our commitment to improving the quality of life for Brooklyn residents." 

Santander's new Brooklyn branches feature a modern interior design aimed at improving the customer experience with an open layout and comfortable meeting "nooks" with sliding glass doors where customers can meet privately with our bankers to discuss their financial needs. The branches also have a "help bar" that provides a casual gathering area for waiting and quick conversations. A 24-hour zone with deposit-taking ATMs is also available at both branches for customer use after bank hours.
