Community
Community Impact In Central Pa.
At Pennian Bank, we know the importance of giving back to the communities where we live and work. We are grateful to be able to give thousands of dollars a year in donations to local charitable organizations. Additionally, we utilize the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit program to donate money to eligible educational organizations.
Unlike larger banks, community banks reinvest in our community. Your deposits and loan dollars directly support local residents and organizations. Community banks also create jobs which are beneficial for a healthy, local economy. We are dedicated to offering financial services for everyone, making banking more attainable to local residents.
