BY MCGEORGE SORENSEN Th e First National Bank of Long Island christened its newest branch in College Point with a ribbon cutting on Jan. 30. Bank President Michael Vittorio was joined by numerous bank offi cials and Queens business advocates for the ceremony. Based in Glen Head in Nassau County, the First National Bank of Long Island was born in the 1920s when Long Island was still a predominantly farming community. In this century, however, it has grown by leaps and bounds into one of the most profi table fi nancial companies east of the Queens County line; Newsday reported that the bank’s fourth-quarter income in 2016 grew by 13.6 percent to $7.5 million, and that its residential mortgages increased by $213 million, bringing the bank’s total mortgages to $1.3 billion. Th e First National Bank of Long Island has more than 40 branches now in Nassau and Suff olk counties. With its strong Long Island presence, Vittorio -- who joined the bank 15 years ago -- sought to expand the business further by branching out to Queens. Prior to opening its College Point branch, the First National Bank of Long Island recently opened branches in Howard Beach and Whitestone. Th e bank prides itself on serving small businesses and professionals including doctors, dentists, attorneys and accountants. It off ers all kinds of consumer and business banking services, checking and savings accounts, commercial and residential mortgages, and various investment products. Vittorio hopes the bank’s customer-friendly nature — its motto is “Where everyone knows your name” — will attract future generations of new customers in Queens and beyond.
