Levittown's Coffin Named EVP
First Federal of Bucks County, a federally chartered mutual savings bank serving businesses and individuals in Bucks County, as well as Philadelphia, Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware counties, announced today that Robert Coffin has been promoted to executive vice president -- chief risk officer.

Jeane M. Coyle, the bank’s new president and CEO and the bank’s first female leader, announced the promotions as part of her restructuring plan.

Coffin, who was senior vice president, chief credit officer and corporate secretary; joined First Federal of Bucks County in 1980 and the lending team in 1983. A graduate of Penn State University, Coffin started his banking career in 1978 at New Hope Savings. A lifelong resident of Bucks County, he has served as chairman of the Lower Bucks Chapter of the American Red Cross and chairman of the Red Cross homeless shelter and is active in local scholarship and community service projects with the Bristol Lions club.

“Bob has been at First Federal of Bucks County for 35 years and is my right-hand person,” said Coyle. “He will be overseeing all aspects of risk for our entire bank – especially credit and compliance risk.”

Coyle is positioning the bank to continue to provide convenience and value for the bank’s business and individual customers, to maintain profitability for long-term growth and sustainability as a local bank and employer, and to give back to the community.
