We’re locally owned and operated. So we support our community, including the small businesses here in upstate New York. We offer many different commercial loanschecking and savings accounts to make sure your business has what it needs to succeed. 

And that’s not all. We work hard to provide our personal customers with the service they need, too. From starting your first CCBee Kids Cash Club savings account — to taking out a home mortgage, to contributing to your IRA. We’ll be by your side through every important time in your life. 

An institution that has stood the test of time.

When Little Valley, New York opened its first bank over a hundred years ago, it was called The Crissey and Crissey Bank, after its founder: E.B. Crissey and his son, Harlow. 

Energetic, civic-minded leaders in Cattaraugus County, the Crisseys pioneered the ideals of community banking in our area. Crissey and Crissey Bank supported the successful Salamanca and Little Valley Electric Railway. It also bought the first equipment for the town fire company, setting the precedent for successful local banking in our community.

At the turn of the century, a group of local investors bought the Crissey and Crissey Bank. And on January 2, 1902, the newly chartered Cattaraugus County Bank (CCB) opened its doors to the public. Since then, CCB has grown into a seven branch, full-service bank, servicing all of the Southern Tier of Western New York. To this day, CCB has maintained an unprecedented record of fiscal integrity and sound financial growth. 

We want to make your dreams come true.

While our first slogan, “We want your business,” still rings true, CCB has proven itself strong, growing, and well-positioned to continue providing community banking services throughout the 21st century. And, now, we’re here to make your dreams come true with straightforward, genuine banking solutions.
