Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Chamber of Commerce Spotlight: Banking on the community

By Joan Nickeson

At the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Chamber of Commerce antique train car, Membership Director Kristin Winter told me about her Branch Manager position at Flushing Bank. 

While decorating the car’s interior together, she sang the praises of her bank located at 4747 Nesconset Highway, Port Jefferson Station. It is near Margaritas Cafe and Katherine Jon Salon. “I love working at Flushing Bank,” she said. “At the heart of our community-based approach to banking is the philosophy that we are, ‘Small enough to know you; Large enough to help you”.

It is evident she has a skill for assessing people’s needs. Kristin is an enthusiastic volunteer for our chamber of commerce, looking for creative ways to grow and deepen member relationships. This is in line with Flushing Bank. It is a community- focused organization having distinguished itself as a leader in serving multicultural neighborhoods. 

“We are proud to sponsor cultural and charitable events throughout our markets,” she explained. “The Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Chamber of Commerce does so much for this area, and I’m happy to be on board. It all works together.”

Flushing Bank was established in 1929. It offers the products, services, and conveniences associated with the large commercial banks. You’ll find a full complement of deposit, loan equipment, finance and cash management services with personal attention you would expect from a community bank. They serve the needs of individual consumers, nonprofits, businesses, professionals, corporate clients and public entities. Their experienced lending teams create mortgage solutions for real estate owners and property managers.

Kristin would be happy to tell you more about it. Stop in at Flushing Bank, contact her at [email protected], or call 631-928-4444, option 0. Ask about personal and business account promotions with great rates and bonuses
