About Brentwood Bank

How Brentwood Bank's community focus helps you

Over 100 years ago Brentwood Bank—operating as Tunnel Building & Loan at the time—set up temporary locations to help mill workers in the South Hills of Pittsburgh save and manage their money. The objective was straightforward: to provide practical financial support to the local community.

That approach continues to influence how the bank operates today.

Brentwood Bank focuses on supporting the long-term financial stability of the communities it serves. Because we operate as a community bank rather than a large regional or national institution, we have more flexibility in structuring solutions that reflect each customer's unique circumstances. This includes working with individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and municipalities, taking the time to understand their specific financial needs, and creating practical solutions that fit. 

The result is that Brentwood Bank customers tend to get more direct attention and less one-size-fits-all treatment. When a banker genuinely understands your situation, the advice and products you receive are more likely to be useful. That’s good for you, and it just feels right to us.

That’s why our customers consider us a trusted financial neighbor rather than a bank. It’s how we see ourselves, too.
 

Brentwood Bank is "Banking Local"

Most of the time, “Go Local” means choosing the pros at the neighborhood hardware store over a sterile big box retailer or enjoying food that came from down the road, not around the globe.

The “Going Local” conversation rarely includes the idea of banking. But at Brentwood Bank, we believe it should.

Here’s why:

Expertise
There’s a belief that community banks aren’t as savvy as big banks. Actually, in many ways Brentwood Bank is smarter. Much of our staff has earned their financial stripes at larger institutions. Joining Brentwood Bank has allowed them to fully apply their skills in the most fulfilling way possible: by strengthening our local communities. It’s something we call, “Main Street Smart” – top-notch expertise that’s focused solely on your needs.

Local Deposits Benefit Locally
When you bank with Brentwood Bank, your deposits stay in the community where they do a lot of good, like funding local business loans and helping new home buyers. According to the Independent Community Bankers of America, community banks such as Brentwood Bank provide more than 60% of America’s small business loans, while also earning the highest satisfaction rates from local customers.

Local Means Flexible
The local branch of a big bank is still beholden to big-bank decision making and model-based loan approvals. Brentwood Bank is a mutual bank, which means we don’t have stockholders to make happy. We prefer to make decisions based on local knowledge obtained through long-term relationships within the community. The result: more nimble and personalized solutions for families and businesses alike.

No Trade-Offs
Let’s face it. Part of a bank’s job is giving you convenient access to your money and the ability to manage it. At Brentwood Bank, we’re no different. Along with all the benefits of being a community bank, we also have the essential products and services you rely on: checking accounts with no hidden fees, 24/7 online and mobile banking, free ATM availability, personal loans, and savings & investment options. Combined with hometown attention, you’re not trading off. You’re trading up.
