BankNewport – Julia Reinhardt – Branch Sales Manager

Julia Reinhardt is the Branch Sales Manager of BankNewport’s North Kingstown branch located at 1350 Ten Rod Road, where she is responsible for branch operations, customer service, team development, and community involvement.  Being a community bank means helping customers, but for BankNewport, it does not stop there.  BankNewport knows that we must also help all members of the community and has been committed to supporting the communities we serve since our founding in 1819. BankNewport currently has 17 branches in Rhode Island.

Julia is proud to partner with the NKEF to promote and enhance education in North Kingstown. She joined BankNewport in 2016 as a Senior Universal Banker at the Narragansett branch, before being promoted to her most recent position as Branch Operations Manager there in 2018. A native of East Lyme, CT, Julia holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Connecticut. She is the Treasurer of Wickford Art Association and volunteer at the North Kingstown Food Pantry.
