ITHACA, NY (September 4, 2024) — In an expansion of its team and its offerings, Tompkins Community Bank (Tompkins) has appointed Rijad Karabegovic to commercial cash management group leader and Bob Massino to the newly created role of commercial cash management sales manager. The pair will execute strategies that ensure Tompkins’ cash management products and services continue to meet clients’ evolving needs, while delivering world-class service to this important client base.

Bringing more than 20 years of industry expertise to his new role, Karabegovic will lead Tompkins’ commercial cash management group under President of Tompkins Community Bank, John Mckenna. Previously, Karabegovic served as manager, commercial deposits, payments and cash management at ESL Federal Credit Union; before that, he worked as a senior vice president at HSBC Bank / HSBC Securities in Rochester, NY.

Massino, who will report directly to Karabegovic, will lead the teams’ execution of its sales strategies across Tompkins markets. An integral member of Tompkins’ team since 2013, Massino has positively established himself in a variety of sales roles, having most recently served as vice president, cash management sales officer. An active member of his community, Massino serves on the board of Pottstown GoFourth! and volunteers with St. Teresa of Calcutta School in various roles.

“The enhancement and growth of our commercial cash management offerings and client base remains a top priority and is an important element of Tompkins’ overall growth strategy,” said President, Tompkins Community Bank, John McKenna. “I am excited to announce the appointment of Rijad and Bob to their new roles and I am confident they will ensure we meet our objectives for this group.”
