Take advantage of our extensive resources and unparalleled community commitment.
We’re growing at a steady rate. With assets of more than $9.2 billion, ESL is one of the largest credit unions in New York State. And we rank in the top 1% of more than 7,000 federally insured credit unions in the U.S.
All of which proves we have the financial strength to help you meet the challenges of the day. And build your business.
But here’s something even more important.
We have a deep commitment to this community. And we’re determined to use our powerful resources to help local businesses succeed. In fact, it’s a key part of our strategy to grow ESL: We succeed when you do.
That’s why we work so hard to build lasting, long-term relationships with our clients through outstanding service and consistent lending. Which is the exact opposite of the “here today, gone tomorrow” lending approach adopted by so many other banks.
So if you’re looking for an experienced commercial banking partner ready to help you today, tomorrow, and far into the future, make the smart move. Come to ESL.
Get help from experts on the local business environment.
Our commercial banking professionals have more than 150 years of collective experience in their field. They also have an in-depth understanding of the local market and the industries that power the Greater Rochester economy.
That critical expertise helps them provide the valuable, locally focused advice you need to make sound, well-informed decisions about the future of your business.
It’s also the kind of local experience and insight that is so hard to get from banks based outside our area.
Fast-track your projects with the speed of local decision-making.
We’ve been helping hard-working people in the Greater Rochester area for more than 90 years. In fact, this is our home – where we work and live. And we make all of our decisions here.
For our business clients, this exclusive local focus is a tremendous advantage. Because it gives us the ability to move quickly. Cut through red tape. And help you put your plans into action.
