M&T Bank

M&T Bank is a community-focused banking franchise founded in 1856, providing personalised retail and commercial banking services through a network of more than 950 branches across the eastern United States. The bank combines the branch-level service of a community institution with the balance sheet of a large financial firm, holding over $211 billion in total assets and employing more than 17,000 people. Its stated core values are integrity, curiosity, candor, ownership and collaboration.

The bank has reported 170 consecutive profitable quarters, equivalent to more than 42 years. It is ranked in the top 5% of banks by Greenwich Awards for customer experience and consistently places among the top 10 Small Business Administration lenders nationally. Beyond SBA lending, its operations span retail banking, commercial banking, community banking and small business lending, with an industry focus that includes community development.

Ownership and community involvement are notable features of working at the bank: more than half of employees own company stock. In 2024 the bank contributed over $67.4 million to 4,006 non-profit organisations, and employees logged 245,895 volunteer hours.
