President’s Message

SUPPORT = SUCCESS for our Customers, our Communities, and our Team Members.
This has been our mission, and the reason why we’ve survived 95 years here at Seneca Savings. I’m so proud of the success our teams contribute to across our 4 local communities of Bridgeport, Liverpool, North Syracuse, and Baldwinsville. Thank you for speaking up and asking for our help – nothing makes us happier!

Here’s how we Support Our Employees:
We continue to invest in our team members since they’re one of the greatest assets we have as your local community bank! We held a fun, informative day away and underwent DISC Assessments. This experience helped us to identify our own natural tendencies and strengths and to understand better how our colleagues process information and make decisions. We all have unique abilities, and this helped us tap into and understand each other better. We are also in the works to offer additional personal and professional development for our team members.  We believe strongly that the greater we grow our individuals, the greater resource we can be to our customers and communities.

Here’s how we Support our Checking Account Customers:
There is no such thing as ‘just a’ checking or savings account at Seneca Savings. We’re really proud to be able to add Extra SUPPORT with every checking account offered.

For example:

  • FREE first order of checks,
  • NO minimum balance
  • NO monthly service charge for our Simply Free Checking

And:

  • Cell Phone Protection
  • CyberScout® Identity Theft Resolution
  • Roadside Assistance
  • $10,000 Accidental Death Insurance*
  • Shopping, Travel & Entertainment Discounts, etc. for our Benefits Checking

And:

  • FREE annual order of personalized checks
  • Higher interest rate with a balance of $1,500 or more
  • Competitive interest if balance falls below $1,500
  • Only $6 monthly charge if minimum balance falls below $1,500 with our Premiere Interest Checking!

And the same model applies to our Savings Accounts.  We love to start our customers off when they’re young (Ages 5 thru 18) with the Seneca Super Saver, and support our Students and growing families, all the way up to our ‘Fabulous 50’ customers. EXTRA Support with your checking and savings customers is built into our services! 

Here’s how we Support New Home Buyers across our Central New York Region:
The housing market has been on fire this year, and we’ve been right out-front offering competitive rates and exceptional customers services to help bring you the dream of home ownership. Overall, we’ve given out $7,245,562 of Home Loans in 2023. Helping take the headaches away from home buying is key, so we even added a convenient digital mortgage pre-qualification form that can be submitted in just ten minutes from the comfort of your home computer. Ted Kelly and Clara Bader were terrific additions to our team this year as our newest Mortgage Loan Officers. Their positive reviews from customers tell us we made great decisions to bring them on board.

Seneca Savings is local and strong.
For over 95 years we’ve been here to support you, your families, and businesses, and to celebrate your successes! We continue to invest in our people, resources that serve you the customer, and the beautiful communities we live and work in. As always, we’re only a phone call or email away. That’s the value of a local, community bank.

We’re here with you… for life’s journeys.

 

Sincerely, 

Joseph G. Vitale 

President & CEO
