“The logo represents our strong culture and mission to be America’s Most Exciting Bank, our desire to help customers find life’s exciting moments, and our commitment to high performance,” said Berkshire CEO Mike Daly. “Over the last decade, we have launched innovative programs and a new model of branch banking while expanding our geographic footprint across New England and New York. The logo reflects how far the Bank has come and our plans for the future.”

The new logo will be rolled out this summer and fall throughout the Bank’s footprint and will be visible in the branches, on employee apparel and across digital channels. While it provides full service banking, insurance and wealth management services, Berkshire Bank’s continued growth is rooted in its work to change the way people think about banking. From its unique branch design, to its My Banker highly-personalized banking experience, to its award winning employee volunteer program, the Bank continues to define itself as America’s Most Exciting Bank®. Berkshire Bank is the official bank of the Boston Bruins coverage on NESN and also offers specially designed mortgage, retail and loan products for MTA members and their families.
