Incorporated in 1887, Canandaigua National Bank & Trust has enjoyed a rich hertiage in the Finger Lakes region in Upstate New York. As the Rochester NY region's only local, full-service community-owned financial institution, we've grown by offering competitive banking options and the kind of personalized service that builds long-lasting relationships. In fact, CNB's first depositor in 1887, the Ontario Orphan Asylum (since renamed the Ontario Children's Foundation), remains a customer to this day.
We currently have 24 community banking offices located throughout Rochester and the Finger Lakes region and Financial Services Centers located in Bushnell's Basin and Geneva. Together they offer a full range of financial services for individuals, businesses, municipalities and not-for-profit organizations. (more)

PBA Event Reservation Payment Notice
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your incredible support in attending our events! We appreciate your enthusiasm and participation in our workshops, networking and community events. In the past, the PBA has absorbed any expense for members who registered for events but were unable to attend for various reasons. Unfortunately the cost for holding events has increased and it has become necessary for us to change this practice. Going forward, the PBA will need to charge you for any reservation you are unable to fulfill unless we receive a cancellation notice 48 hours prior to the event. We are sensitive to the fact that last minute schedule challenge occur and we encourage you to send a substitute in your place if you find yourself unable to attend. For all PBA meetings requiring reservations and a meeting fee, we have always extended a "pay at the door" option to our members and guests and will continue to do so.Recently, we added the option to pay by credit/debit card via PayPal on the PBA website. This option will continue to be available as well. Again, thank you for your tremendous support! We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
