Financial decisions can feel complex and hard even under normal circumstances. If the current market volatility has you questioning what are the “right” actions you should take now, you are not alone. Here are five concrete ways for you to jumpstart your financial wellness in the wake of the novel coronavirus. 

April is community banking month, a time when we traditionally celebrate what we believe makes our bank unique - our community focused approach and personalized experience. During more normal times, you would see our team out at volunteer events, serving on boards, and joining in at community events. This is what makes working with a local bank so unique – your banking partners are right here in the community alongside you as you go about your day. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to do what we love has changed. We are all learning new ways for us to stay connected. But we remain focused on what matters most to us – the health and welfare of the communities that we are proud to be a part of.

We know the COVID-19 pandemic has affected each of us in various ways. A lot of people are struggling in our communities and we, as a team, are doing what we can to help get our customers through these trying financial times. But many hands make light work and we are in this together. Please consider the following suggestions to help our community through this time.

Hi, I’m Greg Hartz, President and CEO with Tompkins Trust Company.

Didn’t make a resolution yet? How about making one that’s easy to keep, with Digital Wallet?! With our Tompkins Debit MasterCard now compatible with Apple Pay and Google Pay, it’s easier than ever to take advantage of its convenient features and the security it offers.

After a rigorous and exciting selection process, Abby Peterson, VP, Marketing & Communications has been selected as the Business Leader of the Year for the upcoming Annual Fab5 Young Professional Awards!

The New Year is a time for resolutions. A time to commit. A time to make a change.

Tompkins Financial’s annual United Way Campaign raised $62,295 for the United Way of Tompkins County. All three affiliates of Tompkins (Tompkins Trust Company, Tompkins Financial Advisors, and Tompkins Insurance Agencies) contributed to the campaign through employee and corporate donations and through their annual Carnival for a Cause on the Ithaca Commons. Employees also donated goods and volunteered at the Stephen E. Garner Day of Caring. This year’s Campaign Co-Chairs for Tompkins were Matt Forney, Tompkins Financial Advisors Wealth Advisor, and Faye Burke, Senior Talent Acquisition Business Partner.

This month is National Gratitude Month, and it’s very appropriate that Veteran’s Day falls during this time frame.  Each year on Veteran’s Day we have the opportunity to show our appreciation and honor all of those who have served and continue to serve in our armed forces. 

It's that time of the year again...October Customer Appreciation Month!
