Here are some of the benefits of working with a business banking partner dedicated to your community.

Commitment you can count on, day in and day out. At ESL, our interest in the local business community never wavers. So you don’t run the risk of working with partners who shift their focus to other geographical areas when their business model changes.

100% local decision-making. When you’re applying for strategic financing for your business, it’s important to make sure that loan decisions are made by people who truly understand your business and the local economy. Here’s another important advantage.

Consistent lending capacity. At ESL, we’re not “here today and gone tomorrow.” Instead, we’ve made a long-term commitment to businesses in Greater Rochester. So whether you’re involved in an entrepreneurial start-up, a growing small business, or a large corporation with thousands of employees, you can count on ESL to help you move forward with your projects. And reach the next level of success. 

Personal assistance from business banking professionals who live and work here. Our team of Relationship Managers has more than 150 years of combined experience in helping local businesses achieve their goals. They also bring something else to the table: an in-depth understanding of the Rochester market and the industries that operate here.

You’ll also find that these outstanding professionals wholeheartedly believe that the success of local businesses is vital to the future of our community. And that’s one of the most important reasons why you can count on your ESL Relationship Manager to go the extra mile for you.
