Municipal Lending Program

Five Star Bank actively supports New York State municipalities with their needs to borrow money. The Bank invests in debt issued by counties, towns, cities, villages, schools and fire districts. Five Star Bank invests money into communities each year through the purchase of bonds issued and sold through various Wall Street firms, and by the origination and closing of debt directly with various municipal issuers. If you need to issue Bond Anticipation Notes or Statutory Installment Notes, please contact us directly.
