The New Client Experience: Manasquan Bank

On Jul 3, 2024

Manasquan Bank’s new branch in the heart of Metuchen represents a dichotomy between tradition and progress. Building on its strong roots in the community, the bank decided to relocate from 442 to 429 Main St. – taking with it a 10,000-pound antique Mosler Safe Company vault door that dates back to its founding in the 1880s and will serve as a centerpiece in the vestibule. At the same time, the 429 Main St. building, which was completed in May of 2023, features 5,360 square feet of modern amenities and services that reflect a commitment to functionality, efficiency, and enhancing the client experience.

To make the new branch a reality, management turned to long-time partner Vericon, which collaborated with Longo Architects & Associates, to come up with a forward-thinking approach to banking. The construction project employed 47 people, and the resulting $3.7 million facility has replaced conventional teller counters with innovative desk-like pods, while also featuring two drive-through lanes, an ATM and a bike rack. 

The updated design also fosters collaboration among Manasquan Bank’s 13 loan officers and retail employees – previously at separate facilities – enabling them to provide seamless and comprehensive financial assistance to customers. Manasquan Bank is also giving back to the community with a dedicated community room available to local groups during business hours at the new branch, and by donating the old building’s drive-thru lanes to Metuchen Borough to be developed into a community park.
