About Enterprise Bank

Enterprise Bank first opened its doors for business in October 1998. Since that day, it has continued to change the expectations small business owners have for their financial institutions. The main reason is this: Enterprise Bank is the region’s only bank created solely to cater to the ever-growing and evolving needs of entrepreneurs.

Its founders—all successful, local business entrepreneurs—recognized an absence of resources for small business owners in the Western Pennsylvania region. They noticed that community banks were too small to handle the lending demands of a new business and mega banks viewed small businesses as too risky to lend to. Their idea was to create a bank that understood the needs of this unique group and to offer banking services and business solutions that would develop Pittsburgh’s small businesses—all of these in a friendly, personable atmosphere that places the clients’ needs first.

They did this through several methods unique to Enterprise Bank. First, each business client has a unique Relationship Manager that acts not only as a lending officer to the clients but oftentimes as a business advisor and mentor. Your Relationship Manager cares about the welfare of your business because they have a vested interest in your business. This is because each Relationship Manager functions as a small business owner internal to the Bank. When your business succeeds and grows, your Relationship Manager’s business succeeds and grows. If your business suffers or fails, your Relationship Manager suffers a loss as well. That is why they strive to have your business thrive.

With all of these changes, Enterprise Bank will continue to offer superior customer service in a personable setting. This is because we view Enterprise Bank as more than a financial institution. We see it as an opportunity—the opportunity for an entrepreneur to receive the attention and support needed to nurture the seedling of a business into a strong and mighty tree. Our Customers are more than the result of a lending equation. They are the result of Our Conviction that every business deserves the chance to compete and succeed among business giants. It is our belief because that is the story of Our Company.
