The Oakleaf

With federal mortgage interest rates at historic lows, now may be the time to talk to us about making the most of your mortgage. Many people don’t realize that when you buy a home, you don’t necessarily need to keep the same mortgage and rate for the life of the loan. 

This past week we celebrated the career of a Tompkins Bank of Castile legend - the one and only Bob Bennett! Bob, our Vice President and Sales Manager, has retired after 26 years with the company.

We are happy to announce the appointment of Meghan Rodwell, vice president, commercial banking relationship manager.

Todd Masters has joined Tompkins Bank of Castile as vice president, business development officer for its Community Banking Group. Based in the Pittsford office, he will serve clients in Rochester and Monroe County.

That's right, you read that correctly. We are now open in Erie County, and we couldn't be more excited about it! The new financial center, which also houses our affiliate partners, Tompkins Insurance Agencies and Tompkins Financial Advisors, is open and ready for business. This office marks our first physical location in the region, but we have been doing business there for years.

Tompkins Bank of Castile is celebrating our 150^th anniversary this spring. Together with our partners at Tompkins Insurance Agencies, and Tompkins Financial Advisors, we plan to acknowledge this important milestone in a number of ways and at several key events throughout the year. The anniversary celebration will kick off at the original Tompkins Bank of Castile branch on May 1 and continue at our annual WNY informational shareholders meeting on May 14 at 5:30 pm at the Genesee Country Village and Museum.
