Its primary operations include deposit products, treasury management, and a diversified loan portfolio spanning commercial real estate, residential mortgages, and industrial lending.

Following its rebranding in 2025, the company continues to focus on integrating digital banking platforms with traditional private banking and fiduciary services to serve its multi-state footprint.
