CANFIELD — Farmers National Bank will open its second Lab Branch later this year.
The new branch at 5443 Whipple Ave. NW, near I-77 and the Belden Village Mall in Canton, is slated to open in the fourth quarter. It will house all of the bank’s emerging technology and customer service initiatives, including Interactive Teller Machines in the lobby and drive-thru. ITM’s allow customers to speak to a specialized banking associate via video conferencing.
“At Farmers, we believe in having a culture of innovation. After the successful launch of our first Lab Branch concept, we continue to place an emphasis on implementing new technologies that produce a one-of-a-kind banking experience for our customers,” Kevin J. Helmick, president and CEO of Farmers, said in a news release.
The branch will offer a more relaxed atmosphere to encourage engagement between bankers and customers. Farmers National will use feedback received from customers at the Lab Branch locations in Canton and Canfield to aid in the continued rollout of its new technologies.
“When it comes to the retail banking experience, we believe the Lab Branch offers the perfect blend of digital technology and the legendary customer service Farmers is known for,” Amber Wallace, executive vice president, chief retail/marketing officer, said.
