Community Bank System has completed the acquisition of Kinderhook Bank and its banking subsidiary The National Union Bank of Kinderhook.

The acquisition adds 11 branch offices to Community Bank System network, bolstering its presence in the Capital District of Upstate New York.

Community Bank System president and CEO Mark Tryniski said: “This acquisition has created an exciting opportunity for Community Bank to establish a broader and deeper banking presence in the Capital District to further support our efforts to grow our retail and business banking businesses in the Capital District.
