Impact
Where you bank makes a difference
The banking industry as a whole puts shareholders’ needs above all others. We founded Beneficial State Bank to challenge that business model. We operate every day guided by a simple aspiration: deliver benefit to all and harm to none.
Beneficial State Bank is one of the leaders of a growing movement toward ethical banking. We’re proud to stand with other banks committed to our shared values of resilient and inclusive communities and a healthy planet.
As an ethical bank, Beneficial State has committed to evaluating our impact and sharing our learnings and successes so that others may learn from, teach us, and potentially join us on this journey.
