Connected to Our Community
At Solvay Bank, we’ve kept our hearts exactly where they belong: right here in the community.
To us, community impact isn’t just another thing to do — it’s a part of who we are. You’ll find our team lacing up our sneakers for the Syracuse and Utica American Heart Association Heart Run/Walks, or honorably placing Memorial Day Flags for Veterans to remember those who served. Take a look at some of what we’ve done below!
