We strive to ensure that those who work and bank with Beneficial State, no matter their identity, feel in their hearts the words they experience when they walk into our branches: YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.

Supporting worker power in the banking industry

In 2021, Beneficial State Bank reached a collective bargaining agreement with staff and Communications Workers of America (CWA), marking the first time bankers established a union agreement in over 40 years.

Beneficial State is proud to set a strong example for the rest of the banking industry, which has little unionization and often pays workers very low wages. We value our employees and see unionization as an opportunity for our employees to organize and have a collective voice.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion

In 2021, we launched a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Educational Enrichment Series as part of our commitment to embrace diversity and promote equity and social justice within our organization. Through town halls and workshop sessions, guest speakers, and a library of resources, we are educating ourselves in ways that we can support and effectively foster social justice, equity, and diversity within our organization, our communities, and society at large.

We're proud to support our employees, so we can all support our communities. Read our full impact report to learn more.
