Santander Bank plans to close 18 branches across the U.S., including a historically significant facility in Stapleton, Staten Island. The closure is part of the bank's strategy to adapt to customer needs by investing more in digital services and reimagining its retail presence. The Staten Island branch, a designated landmark built in 1924 by acclaimed architects Delano & Aldrich, symbolizes the borough's banking history and architectural heritage, being a prime example of Beaux Arts classicism. This closure reflects the bank's ongoing modernization efforts amidst changing consumer trends.
"Santander Bank continues to refine its branch footprint and retail presence, including introducing new formats and investing in digital capabilities to better accommodate our customers and meet their evolving needs."
"Designed by the nationally significant firm of Delano & Aldrich, it is an important example of twentieth-century Italian Renaissance-inspired neo-Classicism in Staten Island."
