Capital Bank, a division of Chemung Canal Trust Co., will open a new, full-service branch in the Saratoga Springs\/Wilton area.<\/p>\n
According to Anders M. Tomson, president and CEO of Chemung Canal Trust Co. and division president of Capital Bank, \u201cexpanding deeper into Saratoga County has been a desire of ours for some time, but it was a matter of identifying the right facility with the right site. We are confident that this location is the perfect match.\u201d<\/p>\n
Capital Bank currently operates a branch in Clifton Park.<\/p>\n
Located at 3057 Route 50, Capital Bank will lease a former First Niagara office, just on the northern edge of Wilton Plaza. The building has approximately 3,400 square feet of space and features a drive-in teller and a drive-up ATM.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tomson said the branch will likely open during the second quarter of 2018.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe building is large enough to allow us to make this a regional financial center, offering residential, small business and commercial lending; wealth management and brokerage services,\u201d he said. \u201cThese services will complement our more traditional individual and commercial banking products.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Saratoga branch will be Capital Bank\u2019s seventh location, and follows the announcement earlier this year that Capital Bank is building a new branch within Schenectady\u2019s Mohawk Harbor waterfront development project. That office is scheduled to open during the first quarter of 2018.<\/p>\n
\u201cSaratoga County is the fastest growing county in New York state, outside of New York City and Westchester County,\u201d Tomson said. \u201cWith a strong economic foundation, a well-diversified employment base, low unemployment, quality healthcare and educational outlets, and a plethora of cultural and entertainment venues, we believe that the residents and business community will benefit from our community banking business model, which emphasizes a \u2018high touch\u2019 approach to meeting our clients\u2019 banking needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Capital Bank, originally formed in 1995, was merged into Chemung Canal Trust Co. in 2011.<\/p>\n
Bank officials reported assets of $1.7 billion. The company has 33 offices in 11 counties in New York state and one county in Northern Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
