Dime Community Bank

What Dime Community Bank does

Dime Community Bank, operating since 1864 and rebranding to Dime Commercial Bank in 2026, is a publicly traded New York-focused community and commercial bank (NYSE: DCOM) headquartered in Hauppauge, NY with approximately $15 billion in total assets, 62 branch locations from Manhattan to Montauk, and 800+ employees. The bank delivers a unified suite of retail and commercial banking products to individuals, small businesses, mid-market commercial enterprises, municipalities, not-for-profits, healthcare providers, law firms, and PE/VC sponsors across the New York metropolitan area and Greater Long Island.

The product portfolio spans core deposits (business and personal checking, savings, money market, CDs), commercial lending (C&I, commercial real estate, SBA 7(a) and 504 loans, fund finance, sponsor finance, and the new Equipment and Franchise Finance vertical), and a full treasury management suite (ACH origination, lockbox, remote deposit capture, positive pay, zero balance accounts, merchant services with Level 1 PCI-compliant Customer Vault). Supporting technology includes iOS/Android mobile apps, online banking platforms, digital wallet integrations (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay), third-party credit monitoring (SavvyMoney), and rules-based fraud detection (FraudWatch Plus). Wealth management is delivered through subsidiary Dime Financial Services via an LPL Financial partnership, and title insurance through subsidiary Dime Abstract, LLC.

Revenue is generated primarily through net interest income on the $15B loan and securities portfolio (Q1 2026 NIM of 3.21%, expanding 10 basis points sequentially), supplemented by recurring business banking account fees ($15-$95/month tiers), transaction-based merchant services, SBA origination fees, and wealth management commissions. The bank's competitive positioning relies on relationship banking, SBA Preferred Lender status, an Outstanding CRA rating, BBB+ KBRA credit rating with Positive outlook, and aggressive deposit and talent gathering (over $3 billion in core deposits since 2023, approximately 22 senior bankers hired from competitors including a Signature Bank team managing $1B+ in deposits). Recent strategic moves include NYSE listing transfer, two new branch openings, the Equipment and Franchise Finance Group launch, and the transition to Dime Commercial Bank branding.
