John M. Tolomer
President & CEO
The Westchester Bank:
One of
the nation’s fastest-growing
community banks – state-
chartered, FDIC-insured and
targeting small to mid-sized
businesses. TWB’s flagship
office is in Yonkers, with a
second branch in White Plains
and more on the way. “The
trajectory of our growth and
the quality of our clients is a
continuing source of pride.”
MOST VALUABLE
RESOURCES:
“TWB is very fortunate to have
recruited experienced bankers that
are highly motivated to execute the
TWB strategy of ‘Business Banking
Made Personal.’”
LESSONS LEARNED:
“The biggest challenge was
debunking the myth that small
banks lack the ability to offer the
same products and services and
compete with the largest financial
institutions in the world.”
SECRET TO SUCCESS:
“TWB focuses on what we can do
for the customer and communicates
business solutions rather than
focusing on what we cannot do.”
