There is a consulting room for additional privacy and confidentiality when handling transactions such as loan applications or account openings. A coffee and cyber bar is available for customers to access the internet or for those who would like assistance on learning how to use our online banking service.  There’s also a 24-Hour drive-thru ATM just waiting for you.”

Bank President and CEO Austin Roberts stated, “Bank of Lancaster had a desire years ago to bring its style of hometown, community banking to its friends and neighbors in Northumberland.  This commitment is evidenced by Bank of Lancaster’s dedication to service excellence and by paying our ‘civic rent’ to the communities our Company feels privileged to serve.  By providing products and services that Northumberland residents have found of value, along with simply rolling up our sleeves and supporting community endeavors, our Northumberland Offices located in Callao and Heathsville have grown and the demand for a Burgess Office became evident.  We are very excited about opening our third location in Northumberland.”
