Greater Hudson Bank Helps Local Attorneys With Specialized Banking Services

MIDDLETOWN, NY--(Marketwired - April 24, 2015) - Greater Hudson Bank, N.A. (the "Bank") (OTCQX: GHDS), is the last community bank based in Rockland County and one of the few remaining in Westchester and Orange. This enviable position in the marketplace combined with an ideal size affords unique opportunities to attorneys who depend on Greater Hudson Bank for extraordinary personal service and unique attention to their financial needs.

Consistent with the Bank's strategy to enhance business solutions for customers, Greater Hudson Bank announced that it will offer financial service solutions specifically designed for legal service providers. The Bank's innovative legal service suite simplifies and streamlines escrow management, facilitates bookkeeping and provides efficient access to capital.

"We have benefited from underserved customers as well as from the disruption in service that has occurred as a result of bank mergers in our markets," said Ed Lutz, President and CEO Greater Hudson Bank. "We are large enough that we have the breadth of products to meet client needs, but small enough to be nimble and effectively react to evolving market conditions and client preferences. We are excited to roll-out this new product suite for our attorney customers as well as prospective clients."

Demonstrating a commitment to local attorneys, Greater Hudson Bank has partnered with National Granite Title Insurance Agency, Inc. in conjunction with First American Title Insurance Company to present a complimentary continuing legal education seminar. It will be held on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 with registration and buffet breakfast beginning at 8:00 am and program from 8:30-10:30 am at the Comfort Inn in West Nyack.
