M&T Bank Earns Top National Honors for Outstanding Business Customer Experience

Posted on February 20, 2022

Small businesses and middle-market enterprises rate M&T highly on several key metrics, leading to 35 Greenwich Excellence and Best Brand Awards

 

M&T Bank announced it has received 29 regional and national Greenwich Excellence awards and six Greenwich Best Brand awards, continuing its streak as one of the nation’s highest rated banks for the customer experience it provides to businesses. M&T earned the most awards of any bank in the country for small business banking, and its combined total across small business and middle market categories also led the nation.

 

The awards recognize M&T’s 2021 performance across several categories for small business and middle market banking, as determined through a comprehensive survey conducted by Coalition Greenwich, the top source for data and analytics on the financial services industry in the U.S.

 

“Our purpose as a company is to make a difference in people’s lives, and the only way we can fulfill this purpose is by consistently providing an outstanding customer experience,” said Eric Feldstein, head of Business Banking. “We work hard to ensure our customers feel heard and understood and know our bankers are always there to help with customized solutions to solve challenges and support their businesses’ growth. It’s rewarding to receive such positive feedback from business leaders throughout the communities we serve.”

 

“All credit for M&T’s consistently strong performance in the Greenwich Excellence awards goes to our talented team. From our local bankers who work directly with customers to our technologists who develop intuitive solutions to meet their needs, our entire team puts our customers at the heart of everything they do, working collaboratively to develop deep relationships built upon responsiveness, empathy and trust,” said Gino Martocci, head of Commercial Banking. “I’m grateful for the difference they make for our customers every day.”

 

Coalition Greenwich interviewed nearly 23,000 businesses in markets across the U.S. to benchmark the quality of banking products and services in the marketplace. Of more than 500 banks evaluated, M&T Bank is among only 24 that received excellence awards in small business banking and 28 that received excellence awards in the middle market category.
