Northwest Bank is closing two more branches in Buffalo suburbs

Northwest Bank will close two branch facilities in the Buffalo area as part of a broader retail banking consolidation. The closures follow an announcement in fall 2020 that Northwest (NASDAQ: NWBI) would close 42 branches across its footprint, including Western New York facilities in downtown Buffalo, Amherst and Orchard Park. The bank has said its overall growth strategies in Buffalo are going well and commenced an expansion last year at its regional headquarters on Essjay Road in Amherst.
