Chemung Canal Trust Company is a New York State chartered trust company based in Elmira, New York, USA. It was founded as a publicly traded bank in 1833. In 1857, the Arnot family gained control of the bank and operated a private family bank until 1903, when the bank again became publicly owned. Originally housed in the Chemung Canal Bank Building, the bank moved to 129 East Water Street in 1920, and then to its current home at One Chemung Canal Plaza in 1971 [1].

In 1951, the bank began opening branches and currently has branches in the Twin Tiers plus, in 2011, the bank acquired the Fort Orange Financial Corp. and its banking subsidiary Capital Bank & Trust Company of Albany, New York thus now having branches in the Albany area [2] as well.
