HONESDALE, PA — In today’s world, connectivity defines much of what we do. From the network to networking, connectivity powers our pursuits personally and professionally. Our reliance on the resources that make connecting possible runs deep impacting our choices and opportunities. At The Honesdale National Bank (HNB), the concept of connection is what powers the delivery of community banking in every aspect of its business.

Since 1836, more than 186 years ago, The Honesdale National Bank was formulated on the grounds of connecting to the needs of the local community and being a conduit for growth and sustainability. Fast forwarding to today, the Bank is powered by technology and resources leveraged across the globe but put into action with the knowledge and insights that only a truly local partner could provide. 

At its core, HNB’s service philosophy is rooted in delivering the HNB & me difference for its customers. This translates into ensuring each and every interaction is personal, a priority and supportive. From the major milestones to every moment in between, a person’s or business’ finances power how those experiences unfold and HNB is committed to ensuring they are met with opportunity for success. 

From the ability to buy groceries to the ability to enjoy a worry-free vacation, HNB’s digital self-service offerings offer options that ensure its customers are always connected to their funds. Its secure tools and features within HNB Online and Mobile Banking enable access and payments so you never brake stride. From having your HNB card in your digital wallet to leveraging the on/off features in Mobile Banking when you can’t find your Debit Card in your wallet, HNB aims to provide options that put solutions in reach.

“Our products and services are built with the understanding that baking is a means to an end,” said Elizabeth Nagy, VP, Director of Sales, Marketing and Digital Banking. “Our goal is to ensure that you can focus on your family, your goals, your business and your pursuit of what’s important with the security, peace of mind and knowledge to make the most of the day and future at hand.”

Connecting customers with money management tools that extend beyond banking and support greater life needs is another way the HNB & me service mentality is brought to life. The Bank’s checking products offer savings, health and protection benefits that put money back in the customer’s pocket and offer them additional cushion for life’s unexpected events. These HNB Perks showcase the Bank’s ever-present nature in supporting the customer’s best interests. 

HNB also believes in the power and necessity of personal connection. Its dedicated team of bankers know and live in the communities they serve. Their ability to relate to customers’ experiences and connect one-on-one at a moment’s notice are inherent to the Bank’s service philosophy. HNB’s practices ensure that no matter how accessible digital connectivity may make your finances, your questions and support system extend back to the human touch. 

Providing customers with the opportunity to grow through education and relationships is part of HNB’s mission as well. The Bank creates direct access to informational articles, development coaches and assessment tools on its website to grow financial understanding at every age level on a wide variety of topics. HNB team members can often also be found in local schools and community groups presenting on topics that support financial literacy and opportunity. Ensuring the community knows there is a willing resource and relationship available to them is one of the main hopes of these community development opportunities, for every generation in the area.

On any level, connection is personal. HNB aims to keep banking personal, accessible, and relatable. Connecting to your finances is connecting you with what matters most. That’s the HNB & me difference.
