The Butterfield banking centre at 65 Front Street in Hamilton is to reopen on Monday after a complete renovation.

The bank said its Reid Street banking centre will be closed permanently on the same day, with all staff relocated to Front Street.

The banking centre features ten teller stations, including two exclusively for seniors, plus two stations for card services and dedicated spaces for serving premium and private banking clients.

An electronic queuing system enables clients to select the service they need upon entry with seating available.

A US dollar ATM is available inside the banking centre.

Shawnette Griffin, Butterfield’s head of retail and operations, said: “Having a physical presence in our community is important to us. We know many of our clients value the ability to bank in person and to speak to someone they trust.

“The whole team is excited about the reopening of Front Street, which underscores our continued commitment and investment to better the overall client experience.

“We look forward to welcoming clients into the sophisticated new space next week, which happily coincides with 65 Front Street’s 100th anniversary and Bermuda Day celebrations.”

Original artworks from 16 contemporary Bermudian artists are exhibited throughout, alongside some of Butterfield’s extensive collection of impressionist water colourist Alfred Birdsey.

The bank said energy-efficient lighting and cooling systems have been installed.

The design concept was developed by New York-based Jeffrey Beers International, which was inspired by records and photography of the original 1923 banking hall, Butterfield said.

Detailed architectural drawings and interior design services were provided by Bermuda’s Commercial Interiors Group, with custom architectural elements designed and built by Soheil Mosun and Convoy Custom Interiors, of Ontario, Canada.

Construction began in 2021 led by general contractor Bermuda Interiors and supported by local suppliers, subcontractors and specialists including BAC Universal Electric, GD Protection Systems, Eminence, Pembroke Tile & Stone, Precise Systems Integration, the ReGen companies, Surface Trends, SwitchWorx and Triangle Solutions.

The banking centre will initially be open from 9am until 4pm, Monday to Friday, with an accessible entrance via the retail arcade at 67 Front Street.

Visitors to Butterfield’s corporate offices and those with appointments should enter via the retail arcade.

The Front Street and Reid Street ATM vestibules remain accessible 24 hours a day, and clients wishing to make deposits have the option of using the “24-hour depository” box in the Front Street vestibule.
