On September 26, STAR Bank celebrated a new branch opening in Westfield. Staff members are excited to partner with the community, bringing a location closer to home for current clients and welcoming new residents as well.

Brittany Howey will serve as the Westfield branch manager.

“I've been in banking for over eight years, but new to STAR and Westfield,” Howey says. "STAR has been a phenomenal place to work thus far and we're honored to hear that clients wanted a branch in Westfield. We really listen to our customers and want to offer the best thing for our clients and the community.”

STAR works against the in-and-out mentality associated with traditional lines found at a bank.

"We offer banking in a lively and vibrant environment, and we want it to feel like you can be comfortable to bank however you would like," says Amanda Rubeck, vice president and senior retail officer “Come in and get higher personalized advice and service."

The full -service bank offers personal and business banking, loan services, as well as investment and wealth management.

They work with individuals and families interested in retirement planning, education planning, and estate and trust services.

Howey says her primary focus is the relationships she can build through those services.
