Newton’s First Commons Bank is expanding its portfolio of customer services to include a new online application service, called online concierge, and a presence on social media networks Facebook and LinkedIn.

"First Commons Bank’s new online application service, at our website, http://www.firstcommonsbank.com, allows both existing and new customers anywhere, anytime access to open a new personal or business deposit account or even apply for a business loan," said Tony Nuzzo, First Commons Bank chairman, president and chief executive officer.

The bank began operations on July 22, 2009 to serve businesses and individuals in Newton, Wellesley, Waltham and eastern Massachusetts. As of Dec. 31, 2010, the bank had more than $110 million in assets and had surpassed the asset size of more than 2,900, or 38 percent, of all FDIC-Insured banks in the U.S. – after just six quarters of operations.
