A core, heart-felt value at Charter Bank is community involvement. Employees have an active, genuine desire to contribute to the welfare of our community through participation and leadership.

Charter's personalized approach to business banking is mirrored in the individual community activities of almost every employee, from the chairman to the most recently-hired Charter Banker.

We believe we can affect meaningful change through personal commitment to a cause. So our employees are encouraged and applauded for their involvement in civic, social, or political groups or any activity that contributes directly or indirectly to the betterment of the communities we serve.

The community organizations we serve have graciously acknowledged our contribution. See Awards.
