2007 CHAMBER PARTNERS

MEMBER SNAPSHOT
First Commonwealth Keeps it Local

First Commonwealth, a Chamber member since 1976, offers the best of both worlds when it comes to banking.

While it possesses the resources of a large financial institution – some $6 billion in assets – the company also likes to maintain the local touch of a small, community bank.

That effort is evident in the Bank’s presence in numerous cultural, business and sporting events, and programs around town. In September, for example, First Commonwealth sponsored a punt, pass, and kick competition during a Pitt game at Heinz Field. Shortly before that, the bank awarded $10,000 in scholarship money to eight local children as part of an essay-writing contest. The Bank also has an on-going program to help teach elementary and high school students the basics of personal money management.

One of the best examples of the bank’s commitment to the community is the monthly awards it hands out to its employees who make the greatest impact on the neighborhoods in which they work. “As a bank, the communities in which we’re located are our customer base, and our employees are part of the fabric of those communities,” says John Dolan, president of First Commonwealth.

The Indiana, Pa.-based company made its first inroads into the region in 1994 when it established branches in Bridgeville and McDonald. Since then, the bank’s presence in the area has grown exponentially, with more than 30 locations in the greater Pittsburgh area. Its online banking options, network of ATMs, and financial services and products rival those of any bank, while its community involvement is second-to-none.

First Commonwealth has locations throughout Western Pennsylvania. Local branches include:

Bridgeville, 428 Station Street, 412-221-7700.
Robinson, 198 Park Manor Drive, 412-747-8100.
McDonald, 311 West Barr Street, 724-926-1325.
