Pineda has been named the branch manager of the Washington Heights branch.  With 25 years of retail banking experience at such institutions as HSBC and Chase, Ms. Pineda brings with her valuable financial knowledge and a love of community.  Ms. Pineda’s vast experience grew as she worked in the local New York City communities where her dedication and enthusiasm when dealing with clients set her apart from other bank personnel.  Ms. Pineda is excited to bring this same high level of service to the Washington Heights area and branch.
