Two Buffalo Agencies will receive donations
Five Star Bank (“Five Star” or the “Bank”), subsidiary of Financial
Institutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:FISI), opens its new financial solution
center at 40-50 Fountain Plaza in downtown Buffalo today.
Five Star Bank’s financial solution center
concept was designed to meet evolving customer banking needs. It
accommodates a wide spectrum of customer preferences with no teller
lines, no barriers between bank associates and customers, and
hands-on support. Customers have the ability to choose their
banking experience by accessing available on-site technology
devices, mobile banking demonstrations and a staff of Certified
Personal Bankers (CPBs). CPBs are trained to provide a complete
banking experience, whether processing a transaction, opening an
account or providing advice to help customers make an informed
financial decision. Commercial banking, mortgage, insurance and
wealth management advisors will also be available on site to offer
Five Star solutions.
“This is an ideal location for us to expand in
the Buffalo market and we look forward to serving the needs of
downtown residents, businesses and workers,” said Martin K.
Birmingham, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We expect this
branch opening to serve as an excellent foundation for our
continued growth in Buffalo and all of Western New York.”
Buffalo Regional President and C&I Lending
Executive Ted Oexle stated, “Today’s opening is especially exciting
for me as a lifelong Buffalo resident. This new financial solution
center and the financial services advisors based here will meet a
wide-range of customer needs in a warm and friendly
environment.”
A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at the
branch on Thursday, February 16, at 10:00 am. Government and
neighborhood representatives will join Five Star executives and
members of the Board of Directors at the event, which is open to
the public.
Five Star Bank is dedicated to providing
leadership and support for the many communities it serves. In
accordance with this guiding philosophy, the Bank will be donating
$2,000 to two local Buffalo agencies focused on housing solutions
at the ribbon cutting on Thursday: West Side Neighborhood Housing
Services Low Income Housing Program and Belmont Housing Resources
for WNY Low Income Housing Program.
