Bank, leading the lending team that can guide businesses to suc- cess. Their mission is to provide clients with a greater banking experience. In a tough economic and regulatory environment, it takes knowledge and creativity to diversify a portfolio.

We strive to be the banking choice in the Hudson Valley for qualified candidates looking for business

THE BOTTOM LINE
The buzz about local bankers is very good in an environment where commercial lending is very tight.
Community bankers make the time to meet with customers, prospects and referral sources at their place of business to un- derstand their banking needs,” added Tolomer. “They discuss the rationale behind a loan request and work collaboratively with the business owner to construct a loan structure or banking arrange- ment that works for the both the business owner and the Bank.
He summed up: “I think in spite of what you may read re- garding the challenges 2013 will present, The Westchester Bank is well positioned to continue its growth trajectory.”
