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.”

"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.”

We take a proactive approach to promoting and operationalizing employee health and well-being into the culture of Pathward.”
