Bank Overview

TRUSTCO was started in 1902 in New York. Today they have over 145 branches throughout the East coast of America. They have the slogan of “Your HomeTown Bank”. They provide comprehensive banking services from saving, investment, mortgage, and small business lending. They have a staff of qualified experts who provide financial advising to individuals, families, and small businesses to help promote financial wellness throughout their communities. TRUSTCO is a combination of the words “Trust Company”.

They are an affordable provider of high-quality financial products and services. In the early 2000’s the bank expanded to cover all of New York and some areas in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Vermont. They now have 53 branches in Florida as well. The philosophy of this bank is “old school”. By not falling for the latest banking trends and staying consistent throughout the years they have been able to grow their bank while others were failing. They now manage over $15.2 billion in assets and give back to their community regularly.

Throughout their hundred year old history this bank has remained profitable and paid out interest to all shareholders, even when the country was in a state of financial emergency. It was rated as the 15th best savings bank by the S&P global intelligence.

TRUSTCO hosts local events and grand openings throughout their communities. They are a patriotic bank who sponsors 4th of July events and baseball tournaments in New York and Florida. While they have stayed true to their traditional “hometown” roots, they have also made initiatives towards greener business practices since the early 2000’s with “seed paper” and recyclable/reusable tote bags for their members.
