Frequently asked questions

The agreement to join together is subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions. We anticipate the closing will happen in the Fall. Until the closing everything stays the same. You’ll continue to bank with your current Westfield branch team, commercial banker, or private banker.

First Financial is excited to expand our commercial presence in Cleveland into Northeast Ohio and all the existing Westfield locations will become First Financial branch locations following the closing. If there are changes to products or services you’ll know well in advance, and we expect these to be minimal. We’re also excited to share more information with you on new products and services which will be available after we complete the transition.
