Lubow stated that Eichler will work to grow the deposit franchise and partner with commercial bankers to build the bank's presence in sectors with Orthodox Jewish footprint, including healthcare, real estate, retail and wholesale trade, and education.

"My team, which has been serving our valued clients for decades, is very excited to join Dime Commercial Bank," Eichler said. "We were attracted to Dime's vision for growth and its longstanding commitment to serving the community."

Dime is a New York State-chartered trust company with approximately $15 billion in assets and holds the number one deposit market share on Greater Long Island among commercial banks with less than $20 billion in assets.
