Citizens Bank of Evans City now NexTier Bank
Pittsburgh Business Times - October 11, 2005by Patty Tascarella
Citizens National Bank of Evans City, which has been operating in the Pittsburgh area for 127 years, will now be known as NexTier Bank.
The name change for the 15-branch financial institution is the result of an agreement between Citizens National Bank and Providence-based Citizens Financial Group, which entered the commonwealth in 2001 by purchasing the branches of Mellon Financial Corp.
For nearly four years, the two banks battled in the courts over the rights to the name citizens. This spring, they reached an agreement where the Citizens name would be released to Citizens Financial Group, whose subsidiary, Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, operates 152 branches in Western Pennsylvania.
The name "NexTier" was selected by July but kept under wraps. Employees were informed Monday, Columbus Day, a banking industry holiday. The official announcement was Tuesday.
"The name not only reflects the bank's business growth strategy," president Margaret Weir said in a statement, "but also our willingness to listen to our customers, evolve our services to meet their needs and help them reach the next level of financial security, and life."
To celebrate the name change, all 15 NexTier branch locations in Butler, Armstrong and Allegheny counties are distribute "free samples" to walk-in consumers. Envelopes containing cash in denominations of $1, $5 or $50 will be handed out at all branches on a first come, first serve basis, starting at 8 a.m., while supplies last.
Weir said the look of some NexTier offices will be updated to reflect a "customer focused approach to banking," which includes unusual amenities such as gourmet coffee machines and lobby coin counting machines.
