For more than 165 years, M&T has strived to take an active role in our communities and build long-lasting relationships with our customers. We are a bank for communities, combining the capabilities of a large bank with the care of a locally focused institution. Our purpose is a simple one: make a difference in people's lives and uplift the communities we serve. We work, live, volunteer and support the small businesses and people in our neighborhood. It's what helps us understand and continue to evolve as a bank for communities.
