In 1996, two successful local businessmen, E. Philip Saunders and Dan Gullace, purchased an established local bank. They renamed it Genesee Regional Bank with the vision of reestablishing a community bank presence, and helping to grow small business in the Rochester area.

Today, Phil Pecora, President & CEO, leads GRB with a customer-centric philosophy which permeates through the entire organization. Senior managers with a wealth of local banking experience share the vision of Growing Rochester Business with financial counsel, service and support that is second to none.

GRB has been recognized on the Rochester Top 100 List in 2007 and 2008. This highly respected measure of local businesses ranks privately-held companies based on revenue growth.

Too often small and growing businesses fail to capture the attention of larger financial institutions that lack the ability or motivation to serve their needs. At GRB, we have a different attitude. Our financial resources and management resourcefulness will provide you with the flexible, creative thinking you need to achieve your business goals.
