Webster Bank celebrates newest corporate offices in Southington, Connecticut WATERBURY, Connecticut, May 22, 2017 - Webster Bank today held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate its newest corporate offices in Southington, Connecticut, which consolidate former offices in Wallingford and Cheshire, Connecticut, and house more than 500 bankers.

The offices at 200 Executive Blvd. include bankers from Webster's Community Banking business, including its Customer Care Center, as well as bankers from its Audit, Risk and Compliance teams, and Human Resources training staff.

This move creates a string of four Webster corporate hub sites along Interstate 84, stretching from Waterbury to Hartford. It

also consolidates all of Webster's Community Banking offices under the same roof for the first time. Webster was joined at today's event by several elected officials and community leaders, as well as bankers who work in the building.

"This is a statement of our commitment to give our bankers the work environment and tools they need to excel in serving our customers and each other," said Webster Chairman and CEO Jim Smith. "This is also a recommitment by Webster to our Connecticut roots, the local economy, and its workforce."
