First Bank will open new branches in New Jersey and Pennsylvania this fall, aiming to offer better convenience and service.
First Bank plans to open new branches in New Jersey and Pennsylvania this fall, with a focus on providing enhanced convenience and exceptional service to retirees, families, small businesses, and entrepreneurs.
The new branches in Trenton, N.J., and Media, Pa. reinforce the community bank’s commitment to its neighborhoods by expanding access across its footprint. First Bank’s tagline, “Personal Bankers. Real Relationships,” reflects the thoughtful approach that guides every customer interaction.
“We at First Bank are excited to expand our quality banking services throughout our footprint,” said Patrick L. Ryan, President and CEO. “Our focus is on providing personalized banking and genuine relationships our customers can trust. By listening closely, asking the right questions, and offering tailored solutions, we prioritize solving problems, not selling products. Our clients have direct access to top decision-makers, and our market executives are empowered to build meaningful, lasting relationships. This is what defines us as a true community bank.”
Ryan says both locations were chosen because they are central to their respective counties. For instance, Media is the county seat of Delaware County and fits perfectly with the bank’s strategy of establishing branches in vital central locations. He says the Media branch will be located at 22 West State Street and will lay the groundwork for further expansion throughout Pennsylvania’s southeastern corridor.
The other new branch will be strategically located in Trenton, the county seat of Mercer County, right next to First Bank’s headquarters in Hamilton. This branch, located at 101 S. Warren Street will bolster First Bank’s presence in New Jersey’s capital. According to Ryan, this expansion deepens the bank’s community connections and broadens its reach across the state.
“As a community bank, we are dedicated to meeting the diverse financial needs of the communities we serve, supporting small business success, engaging in community service through volunteer efforts, and adopting environmentally responsible practices,” Ryan stated.
Expanding Services for Local Business Owners
First Bank is expanding its services to better support entrepreneurs by enhancing resources for small businesses and lower-middle market commercial entities, covering the entire business life cycle. The bank recently launched a new specialty financing group that provides asset-based lending, enabling business owners and entrepreneurs to convert illiquid assets into additional capital.
Supporting entrepreneurs has always been integral to First Bank’s history. In late 2008, Ryan led an investment group that recapitalized First Bank with $20 million, driven by a clear vision: to establish a community bank that delivers best-in-class services and capital access for business owners and entrepreneurs across the New York City to Philadelphia corridor. Today, First Bank boasts $3.62 billion in assets, as reflected in its most recent quarterly filing.
Ryan was recently honored with the Live United Corporate Award by the United Way of Greater Mercer County. He was also awarded EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year 2022 New Jersey Award.

Winter weather advisory for part of Pennsylvania for Monday and Tuesday – possibly 4 inches of snow
A winter weather advisory was released by the National Weather Service on Sunday at 1:32 p.m. valid from Monday 1 p.m. until Tuesday 1 p.m. for Elk, Clearfield, Cambria and Somerset counties.
The weather service says, “Total snow accumulations between 2 and 4 inches with locally higher amounts possible on the tallest ridges. Winds gusting as high as 65 mph in the Laurel Highlands.”
“Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday evening and Tuesday morning commutes. Very strong winds could cause extensive tree damage,” explains the weather service. “Slow down and use caution while traveling.”
Mastering winter roads: Guidance from the weather service for safe winter travel
Winter weather can make driving treacherous, leading to over 6,000 weather-related vehicle fatalities and over 480,000 injuries each year. When traveling during snow or freezing rain, prioritize safety by slowing down. In near-freezing temperatures, it’s safest to assume that icy conditions exist on roadways and adjust your driving accordingly. Be cautious of ice accumulating on power lines or tree branches, which can lead to snapping and falling hazards. If possible, avoid driving in such conditions. If you must venture out, opt for routes with fewer trees and power lines. Never touch a downed power line, and immediately dial 911 if you come across one. Here are additional winter weather driving tips:
Share your travel plans:
When venturing out of town in hazardous winter weather, be sure to inform family or friends of your destination, your intended route, and your estimated arrival time.
Prepare your vehicle:
Ensure your gas tank is full and equip your vehicle with essential winter supplies, including a windshield scraper, jumper cables, a small shovel, flashlight, cell phone, blanket, extra warm clothing, drinking water, and high-calorie non-perishable food.
Stay calm when stranded:
If you become stranded, stay composed. Notify someone about your situation and location. Avoid attempting to walk to safety. Attach a cloth to your car’s antenna or mirror to signal that you require assistance. Make your vehicle more visible by using the dome light and flashers.
Be aware of snow plows:
Keep an eye out for snow plows and allow them ample room to pass. Only overtake a plow when you have a clear view of the road ahead.
Check road conditions:
Before embarking on your journey, check the latest road conditions to make informed travel decisions.
Stay safe on wintry roads with these valuable winter driving tips from the weather service, and reduce the risk of accidents during challenging weather conditions.
