McGarry, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ridgewood Savings Bank. “We are excited to bring our wide variety of customer-focused banking services to the residents of this vibrant neighborhood.”
The Bayside bank, which occupies 3,700 square feet and has 13 employees on staff, is running a sweepstakes contest through Saturday, March 3. Customers who enter the Better Banking Sweepstakes will have the chance to win one of four prizes - a Panasonic 42” Plasma TV, an Apple 13” iMac, a Yamaha Portable Keyboard & Bench, and a Sony DVD player.
Several “super” gifts - including a Sony Home Theater System, Apple 2GB Silver Nanos, Toshiba 15” Notebook Computers, and an XBOX 360 game system - will also be offered to customers who sign on to five-, seven-, and 10-year CD accounts. In addition, customers who open a new checking or savings account, or a 13-month CD account, will be rewarded with a gift.
