NBT Bancorp Inc. announced the completion of its merger with Evans Bancorp, Inc. on May 2, 2025, followed by a core systems conversion over the weekend. This strategic merger significantly expands NBT Bank's branch network into the Western Region of New York. The acquisition adds 14 banking offices in the Buffalo area and 4 locations in greater Rochester.
The completion of the merger brings over 200 employees and more than 40,000 customers from Evans Bank into the NBT family. NBT Bank now operates 175 branches across its seven-state footprint, solidifying its presence in Upstate New York's largest markets. This expansion is a natural extension of NBT's existing operations.
Three executives from Evans Bancorp, Ken Pawlak, Tim Brown, and Audrey Meyers, have assumed leadership positions within NBT Bank, ensuring continuity in regional leadership. Former Evans President and CEO David J. Nasca is also slated to join NBT's board of directors following NBT's Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
