From friendly service to trusted advice, just a few reasons why our customers know the feeling of “where you belong”. “I have been a customer of First County Bank since moving to Stamford over 30 years ago. Having a neighborhood branch where relationships are built and friendly faces that greet you by name, has been a comfort and godsend to me and my family. I have always had pleasant banking experiences, especially when working with North Stamford Branch Manager Mirella Martina. Mirella was the one who showed us the best way to manage our mortgage and made it happen. She even helped answer some financial questions I had when serving on the board of a local non-profit. I consider First County Bank a true friend and confidant.” – Carole D. of Stamford
