Dear Neighbor,
As you know, the work of a legislator does not stop when session ends. Throughout the year, I spend most of my week attending meetings and advocating for legislation that will positively impact the 57th district.
Below is just a highlight of some of the items I've been working on for you this week.

M&T/People's United Bank Merger
|
|
|
As I'm sure most of you know – this past weekend, M&T Bank completed its merger with People's United Bank, officially converting People's accounts into the M&T system. An online Welcome Center has been put together to answer any questions you may have.
If you're a former People's United customer needing assistance on accessing your accounts online, how to set up Bill Pay or more, click here.
If you are continuing to experience any issues, you are encouraged to contact their customer service representatives at +1 (800) 414-9435.
And most importantly, please remember to keep you account and personal information protected. It is important for customers to know that M&T does not send unexpected emails, texts, or phone calls seeking personal data, account information, or card numbers. Customers should never provide sensitive information like their account number, card number, card PIN, username, password, or a one-time password to anyone who emails, texts, or calls them unexpectedly.
