Over 100 years ago Brentwood Bank—operating as Tunnel Building & Loan at the time—set up temporary locations to help mill workers in the South Hills of Pittsburgh save and manage their money. The objective was straightforward: to provide practical financial support to the local community.

That approach continues to influence how the bank operates today.

Brentwood Bank focuses on supporting the long-term financial stability of the communities it serves.Because we operate as a community bank rather than a large regional or national institution, we have more flexibility in structuring solutions that each customer’s unique circumstances. This includes working with individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and municipalities, taking the time to understand their specific financial needs, and creating practical solutions that fit.

The result is that Brentwood Bank customers tend to get more direct attention and less one-size-fits-all treatment. When a banker genuinely understands your situation, the advice and products you receive are more likely to be useful. That’s good for you, and it just feels right to us.

That’s why our customers consider us a trusted financial neighbor rather than a bank. It’s how we see ourselves, too.
