BankRI expands digital capabilities, launches online account opening

Posted

Adding a new level of convenience to its digital banking capabilities, Bank Rhode Island (BankRI) has announced the launch of its new online account opening tool. The program, available to all existing and new personal banking customers, allows individuals to meet their banking needs on a mobile platform.

“The availability of this new resource doesn’t take away the personal touch point we’re known for,” said Steven Parente, Senior Vice President, Director of Retail Banking for BankRI. “Rather, it adds a new level of service for customers who need the convenience and actively bank on the go – it’s something we really wanted to be able to offer.”

Accessible through BankRI.com, online account opening may be used to open new personal banking accounts, such as checking, money market, savings, and certificate of deposit.

 In launching the new capability, BankRI is currently offering special interest rates for accounts opened online. Accounts can conveniently be opened, whether an individual is an existing customer or new to banking with BankRI. Accounts may be opened with a $0 balance and be funded within a specific period of time and through multiple options, such as; internal transfer, electronic bank-to-bank or ACH transfer, mailing a check, or visiting one of their 20 branches to make a deposit.

“Diversifying how we meet the needs of our customers and prospective customers is very important,” adds Parente. “We know that people’s lives can be very busy, and sometimes there’s a need to bank when a branch is closed or time is limited – this new tool provides that option.”
