About Us & Our Bank
A bank you can believe in.
At NBT Bank, we balance good, old-fashioned business sense with forward thinking. We know our communities and the people in them. We understand that local businesses are the lifeblood of their communities. That is why we work with businesses of all sizes to develop individualized plans that help foster their success.
We combine experienced community bankers with the convenience of technology.
Since opening our doors in 1856, we have remained committed to providing our customers with superior banking services and helping to make the communities we serve a better place to live and work. We also believe that our greatest competitive advantage remains our people. Through their dedication we are able to enhance our ability to serve customers through relationship building, personalized banking solutions, local decision making and commitment to community initiatives. As technology continues to change our world, consumer behavior is constantly evolving to keep pace. The expertise of our employees allows us to offer convenient services that are tailored to meet the needs of our customers. Services like Enhanced Deposit ATMs that enable customers to make deposits quickly and easily without a deposit slip; cashless, card payment options for in-store or in-app purchases using a mobile device; and a robust mobile banking platform with mobile deposit are just a few examples of our commitment to continue expanding digital service options for our customers.

Community Involvement is a core value for NBT Bank and our staff. Employees are encouraged and empowered to volunteer and be a resource to their community. If something is important to the community, you'll likely find the people of NBT Bank involved in and supporting the effort through time, money or resources.
