HISTORY OF PEOPLE'S UNITED BANK

People's United Bank was established in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on July 6, 1988, originally named People's Bank. Over the years, it underwent significant changes and expansions, acquiring several banks including The Landmark Bank in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1991 and The Norwich Savings Society in Norwich, Connecticut, in 1998. The institution changed its name to People's United Bank in June 2007. In 2015, it transitioned to a national bank and became a member of the Federal Reserve System. The bank continued its expansion by acquiring various institutions, including RiverBank in North Andover, Massachusetts, and Lowell's Butler Bank in 2010, as well as United Bank in Hartford, Connecticut, in November 2019.
