"M&T understands our business and our needs and we think they will be a great partner in our continued growth. The fact that we were able to establish this new facility in what can only be described as a challenging credit environment, is a testament to the company's underlying strengths and great prospects for continued growth," added Mr. Messing.

"We're delighted to add BranchServ to our portfolio," commented John Parisio, Vice President of the Commercial Middle Market Group at M&T Bank. "This company has all of the fundamentals that we look for and we're looking forward to financing their growth well into the future," added Mr. Parisio.
