Webster Bank Holds Successful Homebuyer Open House WATERBURY, Conn., April 17, 2014 - Webster Bank, a leading regional bank serving businesses and consumers from metro New York City to Boston, Mass., served 133 customers at its third annual Homebuyer Open House on April 12. Webster began hosting this event in the spring of 2012 in 25 banking centers and it has grown to 49 locations throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island.

The Community Bank team members, mortgage banking officers, banking center managers and Webster Investment Services (WIS) consultants partnered with local realtors and were all on hand to meet with customers and potential homebuyers to help educate them on the wide variety of products and services available to help them achieve their short-term and long-term financial goals.
Customers were eligible for a $500 discount on mortgage closing costs and waiver of the credit report fee for home purchase applications. Webster's "Peace of Mind" guarantee ensures homebuyers will receive a condition-free commitment letter by the contingency date or Webster will provide a $1,000 credit at closing.
