First in Rochester, third in Buffalo
It leads Rochester, ahead of ESL Federal Credit Union, and ranks 3 of 267 lenders in Buffalo-Cheektowaga with 8.4%. Both shares slipped, from 14.8% and 9.2%. Its own loans still rose 7%, so rivals grew faster; one possibility is that they did more refinancing, which is only 3.9% of its lending. In Syracuse its share more than doubled, to 2.1%.
