SPENCER, N.Y. — Tioga State Bank has opened its first student-run branch office at Spencer-Van Etten High School in northwestern Tioga County.
The in-school bank office, which is open to students, faculty, and staff of the school, employs two students, Kaili Root and Jacqueline Brown. Jenna Gilette from Tioga’s Spencer branch oversees the location. The branch is open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. until noon.
`”We have been a part of the Spencer-Van Etten community for 160 years, so it felt like a natural fit to open our first student office at the Spencer-Van Etten High School,” Tioga SVP, Regional Retail Manager Susan Allen said in a release. “We are thrilled to offer the Spencer-Van Etten High School students, faculty, and staff the convenience of having their banking available right inside the school. And it gives students the opportunity to gain independence and the financial skills they will need.”
The bank is working with the school art department to host a student competition for a combined logo for the location.
Tioga State Bank, with 100 employees and $547 million in assets, serves the Southern Tier of New York and northern Pennsylvania with 11 branch locations in Broome, Chemung, Tioga, and Tompkins counties.
