What began in Oswego in 1859 has grown into a community-focused financial institution with locations throughout Central New York, including Onondaga and Oswego Counties. Pathfinder Bank understands that a strong community is built when local businesses, families, and organizations have the resources and support they need to grow. Their commitment to community involvement includes supporting nonprofit organizations, businesses, regional events, and initiatives that contribute to the economic, educational, cultural, and overall well-being of the communities they serve. We are grateful to have Pathfinder Bank as part of our local business community and appreciate the role they play in supporting Central New York.
