Citizens Commercial Banking’s Security Finance Group provided a $25 million credit facility to Arlington, MA-based American Alarm and Communications. Citizens is the sole lender.

Founded in 1971, American Alarm provides security and life-safety systems across New England. The company is managed by Lou and Wells Sampson, sons of the company founder, Dick Sampson.

A new credit customer of Citizens, American Alarm will use the revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes and acquisitions.

“We are very excited to have American Alarm as a new credit client at Citizens,” said Greg Buscone, SVP and market manager of Specialized Banking at Citizens Commercial Banking. “With a team dedicated to companies in the electronic security industry, Citizens looks forward to working with the American Alarm management team to support their growth and success.”
