Marathon National Bank of New York was founded in 1989 to serve the financial needs of local consumers and business owners in the greater New York Metropolitan area. The bank’s principal belief was that its ability to provide high quality customer service would be the key factor in retaining and growing a solid customer base. For almost two decades, this full service commercial bank has been dedicated to the ideal of providing creative financial solutions and unparalleled personal service to its customers.

In 1999, Marathon National Bank of New York became a member of Piraeus Bank Group. Piraeus Bank is a robust and prestigious financial Group that today ranks among the largest banking organizations in Greece. The core values of Piraeus Group focus on growth, vision, innovation and flexible management. Piraeus Banking Group has steadily increased its business, financial figures and areas of activity through the implementation of innovative banking and financial management services throughout the global marketplace.

In early 2004, Marathon Banking Corporation completed the acquisition of Interbank of New York with its simultaneous merger of Marathon Bank of New York. The merger doubled the number of branches operating in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan.

Marathon Bank is proud to be growing with its clientele. In late 2005, Marathon Bank opened its doors in Fort Lee, New Jersey. The expansion marked a milestone for the company since the Fort Lee branch is the first branch to serve customers outside of New York.

With a successful network of branches, Marathon Bank is pleased to announce that there are plans for additional expansion, which will be designed around its growing customer base.
