The bank will also retain its name.

“We’re proud of our name,” Domico said, adding, “The faces are going to remain the same. The decision making is going to remain here locally.”

The consolidation will give the banks “The ability to provide its customers a greater range of products, services and access to expertise than any of the banks could provide individually,” the company said in a statement.

“This will put us in an even better position to invest in products and technology,” Domico added. “At the same time, we’ll remain focused on community banking.”
