OWEGO — First Niagara Bank will close one branch office in Owego and another in Conklin in early March, a bank spokesman confirmed today.
The move is part of the bank’s consolidation effort announced Jan. 8. First Niagara said it would eliminate up to 170 administrative positions at branches in its four-state footprint, in response to customers’ increased use of its online, mobile, and telephone-banking options.
The Owego branch, located at 18 Lake St., and the Conklin office, at 1115 Conklin Road, will shutter on March 7, according to Oliver Hays, a First Niagara spokesman. Five people work at the Owego office while three are employed in Conklin.
