ELMIRA, N.Y. — Five Star Bank on Monday formally opened its relocated branch in Elmira, a 2,400-square-foot office at 100 West Water St.
Five Star Bank has served Elmira since 2012 when it acquired the former HSBC branch at 150 Lake St. It operated that branch until now. The relocated branch is part of the state’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative.
Five Star’s new Elmira office is designed as a “financial solution center” with no teller lines and no barriers between bank associates and customers, the bank says. It has new technology that includes interactive teller machines and the “comfort of community banking” with certified personal bankers.
