3 M&T: A "Super-Community Bank" Our approach is simple: We provide banking services in communities where we live and work We focus on carefully underwritten lending, based on local knowledge We take a prudent approach to acquisitions - we grow when and where it makes sense We view our long-tenured and engaged employees as key to our success The result is a history of above-average shareholder returns
