TOMPKINS COMMUNITY BANK: PAIRING THE CARE OF A NEIGHBOR WITH THE KNOW-HOW OF EXPERTS
By Todd Lake, business development o cer, Tompkins Community Bank, Hudson Valley, NY
Finding the right nancial partner for your business is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. With countless institutions o ering similar products and promises, it can be di cult to know who truly has your best interests in mind.
At Tompkins, we believe the di erence lies in relationships – built locally, backed by decades of expertise and an $8 billion corporation, and focused on your longterm success. In fact, we know the key to serving our customers and our community is forging strong relationships with local business owners. This approach stands the test of time, and it’s something we’ve been doing in the Hudson Valley for decades.
The Value of the Community Bank
Community banks like Tompkins o er similar banking solutions and largely the same innovative technology as the national banks. However, community banks
o er something that larger institutions can’t always provide – personal attention and a community-minded approach to banking. This combination of personal attention and innovative technology is why businesses across New York put their trust in Tompkins.
