WDT: Evans Mills and A-Bay HSBC Customers Handed Off This Week....Others Have Fled Already

   It's pretty clear Watertown Savings Bank has been the most successful at picking the carcass of HSBC Bank, which is getting out of Dodge this summer and selling off its branches to First Niagara and Community Bank.
    The folks down Dividend Drive have launched attracted more than 1000 new customers.

     Meanwhile the lines of customers have dwindled at HSBC, the bank that used to be known as Marine Midland. In its day, Marine had heated sidewalks at its Washington Street headquarters and the banks were mainstays for local business and institutional customers.
       While it can be said all banks are similar, the place people put their money is a personal decision and folks like to think the institution is there for them as well as offering friendly service.
       While employees at the local HSBC's have always been great to me, the corporate abandonment of upstate has left consumers puzzled and ready to flee.
