KeyBank N.A. plans to close a branch in Chautauqua County this spring as the lender's parent company moves forward with a plan to trim expenses by $200 million.
The Cleveland-headquartered bank has notified regulators that the office at 50 E. Main St. in Westfield will close for business on April 26. A company spokesperson said accounts will shift to KeyBank's Dunkirk branch at 51 East 4th St. in Dunkirk.
"With regard to this consolidation, we continually look at client patterns within our branch network and how our clients are using our digital and mobile banking products," spokesperson Matthew Pitts said in an email. "We do this to best meet the needs of our clients and our business."
The notification filed with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is one of six submitted last week to the agency. Branches will also close in Rochester; Dansville in Livingston County; Clyde in Wayne County and Connecticut.
KeyBank N.A. closed 38 branches in 2018 and there's more to come this year.
Just how many remains unclear.
Vice chairman Christopher Gorman told analysts this week to "expect (the bank) to really ramp up" on that front.
"We feel like we're pretty good at it," Gorman said. "As we went through (the 2016 acquisition of) First Niagara, we rationalized the fleet. We think with the technology (and) the digital capabilities that we have, we have the capability to keep our clients and thin out some of the branches. You'll see us actually step that up this year over last year."
