"We are excited to begin construction on our newest and most innovative branch," said Todd D. Brice, President and Chief Executive Officer of S&T Bank.

The wireless hotspot will allow customers to use their own laptops, tablets, and smart phones to access the Internet. Customer service representatives will assist customers with downloading and using the mobile banking app or online banking. To provide added convenience, the branch will have a video conferencing area to connect customers to S&T experts remotely, and a self-contained cash-dispensing machine to streamline cash transactions.

To continue finding ways to realize improved energy efficiencies, the new location will also feature LED lighting with sensors in the parking area, illuminating the area when cars drive onto the lot, and 98 percent LED lighting inside the store.

"With an aim to open the new branch by the end of 2014, we hope the updated office will serve as a construction model for future S&T Bank locations," said Becky Stapleton, senior executive vice president, chief banking officer, S&T Bank.
