"We view Pathward's purpose of financial inclusion as central to who we are. It is promising to see that the rate of unbanked households has dropped by nearly half since 2011, signaling more people now have access to financial services."

"We’re enabling more choice and better access to innovative financial services and products for partners, borrowers, and underserved communities."

"At the heart of our partnership with PWNA is a shared goal to create lasting, positive change for people and families around the country. What resonated with us are the incredibly deep roots they’ve planted in the communities they serve. They are a trusted intermediary that has demonstrated an ability to not only support long-term solutions for self-sufficient Native American communities, but to understand and meet their specific needs to help them thrive. It’s critical that we collaborate thoughtfully with organizations who share our mission and values so that we can best leverage our resources to support their goals. We're honored to work alongside PWNA, an organization that is so deeply committed to improving the lives of those around them.”

"From my first experience volunteering with Braven during a mock interview night, I knew I wanted to continue to be involved with the organization. I volunteered to serve as a Professional Mentor and was paired with an incredible third-year, pre-med Winston-Salem State University student who I was honored to assist in their career journey. I've always been guided by the philosophy of 'lift as we climb.' There were a multitude of people who poured into me as a student and early career professional. It is my duty and privilege to pay it forward. That is one of the things I appreciate about working at Pathward. This is an environment where our efforts to serve our communities are encouraged and amplified.”
