Community Reinvestment

Since 1926, Investors has been committed to meeting the needs of the communities we serve. Today, we're working harder than ever to fulfill that commitment, whether by delivering products and services that benefit all segments of the community or supporting efforts at many levels to enhance the quality of life.

• We're fostering economic growth with affordable banking and credit programs that encourage thrift, savings, responsible borrowing and home ownership.
• We've created First Time Homebuyer's and Affordable Mortgage Programs that enable low- and moderate-income residents to buy their homes.
• We offer no-fee and very-low-fee accounts that enable customers to save money on popular, and necessary, banking services.
• We're helping people become better savers, spenders and consumers through educational efforts, including:
  • Smart consumer seminars for seniors
  • Financial literacy programs for children and adults
  • Credit counseling
  • Customized seminars for local community groups

At Investors, we're also meeting the needs of our culturally diverse markets by ensuring that branches are staffed by bankers who speak the languages of local communities. Our branches are also home to a wide range of community-support programs, from our KidCare photo ID program to protect local children to blood pressure screenings for local residents held throughout the year.

Finally, Investors strongly encourages volunteerism among our employees. We believe that helping the community is not just something to do during business hours—that becoming personally involved in civic and social affairs is the very essence of the word community. That's why we applaud the collective efforts of all employee volunteers, whether they spend two hours a month preparing lunch at a St. John's food pantry in Newark or actively participate in food and toy drives with the United Way and Salvation Army.
