Living our Values
At Pathward, we are committed to advancing inclusion and belonging to meet the dynamic needs of our workforce and business. We aim to cultivate an environment where every employee is embraced and recognized for their unique contributions in serving our clients, partners, and communities.
Pathward's commitment to inclusion and belonging starts with our employees. They inspire our organization to foster environments that raise awareness and create a mutual understanding of our differences and similarities. From Employee Resource Groups to driving economic mobility in the communities where we work, Pathward is building a culture of belonging where all employees are treated with dignity and respect.
Employees participated in a Pathward Employee Resource Group, exceeding an 8% average for Fortune 500 companies.

"Our commitment to fostering a culture of belonging remains at the heart of our efforts. We understand that true inclusion requires more than just representation, it requires a deliberate and ongoing strategy to help every individual feel valued, respected, and empowered to thrive. By embedding belonging into the fabric of our organization, we are not only creating a more inclusive workplace but empowering our people to innovate, collaborate, and contribute to a more equitable future for all.”
Natonya Harbison
Director, Organizational Inclusion & Community Impact
"Pathward’s purpose is very service-oriented, and that lends itself to so many opportunities – not just with our business offerings, but through the ways we serve our communities. One of SCALE’s goals is to elevate our standing as a bank under the Community Reinvestment Act, but we also work across the organization to bolster a culture of belonging. Volunteerism provides an incredible opportunity to connect our workforce through purpose-aligned service.”
Anna Morgan Crawford
Business Analyst
"Through a shared commitment to our culture, we cultivate meaningful connections (virtual and in-person) across our geographic footprint and create a unified environment where collaboration thrives and our employees feel empowered. We take a proactive approach to promoting and operationalizing employee health and well-being into the culture of Pathward.”
