Signature Bank has both recruited a new team and launched a new office in the Northeast.

Signature Bank has added a three-person private client banking team in White Plains, NY, while also opening a new private banking office in Greenwich, CT.

Concurrent with the office launch, an existing three-person banking team led by group director and senior vice president, Thomas Mooney, will relocate to Greenwich.

Mooney and his team have been temporarily working in White Plains since joining the bank in March 2014.

Nicholas Melendez, named as group director and senior vice president, heads the newly-appointed White Plains team. Melendez spent the past 15 years at Wells Fargo and its predecessor banks. He is joined by Keston Williams, associate group director, and Sheraz Muhammad, senior client associate – they are latterly of Citibank and Wells Fargo respectively.

While Melendez and his team settle into White Plains, Mooney and his team relocate from there to the new Greenwich office.
