Mutual Bank has named Jeanna Veneto branch manager of its Halifax Banking Center.

Veneto joined Mutual Bank in 2009, and was named a manager in 2010. Most recently, she held the position of branch manager for the bank’s Brockton West Banking Center. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Bridgewater State College, and is a registered loan originator, according to a statement.

"Jeanna did a great job in the Brockton area and we look forward to her playing a similar role in our Halifax center," said Glen S. White, Mutual Bank CEO. "Mutual Bank has money to lend, and Jeanna will help us put it to work for deserving local people, including many who might have been turned down by larger banks."
