Evans Bank, (parent company Evans Bancorp, Inc., NASDAQ: EVBN), announced that it has opened a new branch at 925 Elmwood Avenue in the Elmwood Village community, representing its 12th bank branch in Western New York.
David J. Nasca, president and chief executive officer of Evans Bancorp and Evans Bank, noted, ”Our new branch is exceptionally well-suited to the Elmwood Village community.” The Elmwood Village in Buffalo, NY was recently named as one of the nation’s top 10 great neighborhoods by the American Planning Association.
“The Elmwood community is an exciting and vibrant city neighborhood, and our new Evans Bank branch is designed with this unique character in mind,” he explained. “While the architecture complements the area, the features and services offered differentiate our customer’s banking experience. Our goal is to create a true community bank atmosphere where ease, convenience and exceptional personal service for residents and business owners are priorities. Our staff will be involved with the broad spectrum of cultural and social assets that this neighborhood offers.”
The new Elmwood Avenue branch includes both drive through and vestibule ATMs, large-screen plasma TV monitors for providing banking and community information, and a creative interior design concept allowing greater interaction among customers and bank associates. The new location gives Elmwood area residents and businesses access to a wide variety of banking, insurance and investment products and services.
Concurrent with this branch opening, Evans Bank officially rolled out its new identity including its simplified name, new logo featuring a contemporary orange mark in the shape of a circle, accentuated by a lowercase white "e", and a new tagline - "Experience.A Better Way." - which speaks to the financial institution's longevity and personal, friendly service.
