New Trustco Bank: See what they have to offer

Last week, Mayor Jerry Jennings marked the grand opening of the new Trustco Bank on Central with a special radio broadcast from the conspicuous building's triage of windows. The spot offers a simultaneous views of Central, Washington Avenue, and Henry Johnson Boulevard, and provides a rare window on the world.


But as nice as the view is, the bank is less interested in looking, and more interested in being seen.



The Trustco branch was located at 163 Central, but wanted a location that would provide more exposure, said Patrick Strahan, Bank Manager. Trustco wanted a location that was "more open" and a spot that people would see going to and from work, he said. Since moving to the new location, with access to three major thoroughfares, "everything's picked up," he said. The bank celebrated its grand re-opening on October 7, and the ribbon-cutting festivities on October 14. The bank offers a full range of services, including checking, savings, CDs, and mortgages, Strahan said.



Trustco Bank is located at 40 Central Avenue.
