The addition of Emigrant's long-term customer base with complementary demographics will strengthen our presence in a market we have been successfully serving for 150 years."
"We will do everything possible to ensure a smooth transition for Emigrant customers, including keeping Emigrant deposit products very similar to the way they are now. We are excited to offer our customers greater convenience, access to a greatly expanded network of branches and an extensive range of deposit and loan services. Customers can continue to expect the high level of personalized service delivered by the same professional and responsive bankers they have come to trust," Shamoon continued.Select the service that is right for you!
