Signature Bank

Signature Bank We founded Signature Bank in 2006 to serve mid-sized businesses better. Locally owned and operated. Member FDIC.

At Signature Bank, you always get to talk with a real person—a person who knows not just you, but also your children and family members. We watch over your accounts personally and will call you if we spot anything. For a forward-thinking bank, it’s a distinctly traditional approach, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

When Signature Bank opened its doors in 2006, Mick O’Rourke, Kevin Bastuga and Bryan Duncan set out to create something they believed was missing in the market: a commercial bank rooted in relationships, not transactions.

With deep commercial banking experience and an entrepreneurial mindset, the three founders wrote a business plan, raised capital and left established institutions to build a bank that knew its clients, understood their businesses and stayed focused on long-term relationships.

That belief shaped Signature Bank from the beginning and still guides us today: know who you are, know who you serve and keep strengthening the relationships.

Twenty years ago, Signature Bank opened with a simple belief: relationships should matter as much as results.

Since then, we’ve built a bank defined by:

• Consistent growth and strong performance
• Long-term partnerships with privately held businesses
• A hands-on, accessible approach to serving our clients

We’re thrilled to celebrate our 20th anniversary this year! To our clients, colleagues, and partners: thank you for being part of our journey. We’re proud of what the last two decades represent, and we look forward to supporting you and your ongoing success in the years to come.
