Sterling National Bank, the principal subsidiary of Sterling Bancorp, serves business owners, their families and consumers in the greater New York City area.

Sterling National Bank has launched a private wealth services program through a new relationship with Ameriprise Financial.

The alliance will provide clients of Sterling's commercial teams with access to investment and financial planning services from a number of Ameriprise Financial's wealth management teams.

Access to the services through this new relationship is available to Sterling clients immediately, and will be delivered through the firm's team-based delivery model, it said.
