Washington Trust's 29th branch is coming to Pawtucket, R.I. next year

WESTERLY, R.I., Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Washington Trust will add a new full-service retail branch at 433 Broadway in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, with an anticipated opening in fall 2026. The new location—the Bank's 29^th branch—represents a strategic move to expand Washington Trust's presence in northern Rhode Island and expand access to financial services in one of the state's fastest growing communities.

The Pawtucket branch location is on a main thoroughfare less than a quarter mile from on- and off-ramps to Interstate 95, and immediately next to a RIPTA bus stop. It will offer a comprehensive suite of financial solutions, including deposit products and services, mortgage and home equity loans, business banking solutions, and wealth management and trust services. Establishing a physical presence in this key market underscores Washington Trust's commitment to meeting customers where they are and supporting the economic vitality of the region.

Pawtucket is home to Slater Mill, widely regarded as the birthplace of America's Industrial Revolution, and today many of the city's historic mills have been redeveloped into housing, supporting a revitalization of the area. Washington Trust, founded in 1800, shares a similar legacy of progress, having served Rhode Islanders for more than 225 years. As the nation prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary in 2026, the opening of this branch reflects Washington Trust's ongoing commitment to growth and community investment in Rhode Island.

"We are excited to have a physical presence in Pawtucket that gives customers who want to bank in person convenient access to the resources they need, whether that's trusted financial advice, a loan to buy a home or grow a business, or an account to save for the future," said Washington Trust Chairman and CEO Edward O. "Ned" Handy. "We look forward to being part of the community and a good neighbor for many years to come."
