Fourteen local businessmen, who became
the founding directors, formed Riverside Bank. They felt that there was a
need for a small local commercial bank to service the needs of small to
medium sized businesses and professionals that the larger banks were not
servicing. This is still the philosophy of the existing Board and Management of
the bank today. |

|
In November 2003, Riverside Bank became the first financial institution to
earn the Top Business Excellence Award from the Dutchess County Economic
Development Corporation (DCEDC). The Business Excellence Awards recognize
businesses, individuals, and not for profit organizations making a
significant economic impact in Dutchess County and the Hudson Valley. |
