Tompkins Bank & Trust is expanding its Western New York footprint with a new full-service branch in West Seneca, its first location in the Southtowns.
The branch at 1201 Union Road is expected to open in the first quarter of 2027, giving Tompkins a banking presence in both the Northtowns and Southtowns of Erie County.
Tompkins has served Erie County since opening its Amherst branch in 2018. The West Seneca location will serve both business and consumer customers, with a focus on the region’s growing business community.
“We’ve been very proud to serve clients and businesses in Erie County for many years,” Diane Torcello, president of Tompkins’ Western New York market, said in a statement. “The West Seneca branch will provide a new, convenient location for customers in the Southtowns.”
The bank received the necessary regulatory approvals from New York state as of Aug. 27.
Tony Ando, a longtime banking professional with more than 20 years of regional experience, will serve as business development officer for the new branch. Ando most recently worked at M&T and has experience working with West Seneca businesses and customers.
He also is involved with the West Seneca Chamber of Commerce and the West Seneca Central School Academy of Finance.
Ando will focus on developing new relationships and strengthening existing partnerships across Tompkins’ Western New York market, with an emphasis on the Southtowns.
Additional details on the branch, its team, employment opportunities and opening events are expected to be announced in the coming months.
