Genesee Regional Bank, widely known as GRB, was founded in 2006 by a group of experienced local bankers and business leaders in Rochester, New York, with the objective of establishing an independent commercial bank dedicated to serving small and mid-sized enterprises. Operating outside major national banking conglomerates, GRB focused on providing tailored commercial real estate lending, residential mortgages, business banking, and SBA loans. Over nearly two decades of operation, the bank expanded its regional footprint across the Greater Rochester area, earning recognition for its responsive local decision-making, relationship banking model, and consistent support for local economic growth.
