Social Commitment
Communities
We have a rich history of community involvement and take great pride in serving the communities in which we operate. Our commitment to these communities is reflected through charitable contributions, community service, financial education programs, and community development initiatives. We have enjoyed eight consecutive “Outstanding” ratings for our Community Reinvestment Act activities.
Employees
Employees are our greatest asset, and the success of our business depends on our team and our ability to attract, retain and develop employees. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workforce and are focused on the well-being and personal and professional development of our employees through our corporate development initiatives. In 2022, we were recognized as one of the "Best Banks to Work For” by American Banker.
