The new Chase Bank community Center in Bed-Stay features community events and financial health workshops.
Communities across America can thrive even in an adverse economy when everyone, from individuals to families to business owners, work together and put financial health at the forefront.
“Of course we have challenges, and that’s been true my whole life,” Dimon said. “I think if you run the corner bakery store or this branch, you should be part of the community. The very purpose of a community branch is to hire locally, art is local, the maintenance is local, when we do food it’s local.”
“When we opened the Harlem Community Center our goal was to improve access to reliable, affordable, and local banking services, and be a force for good in the community,” Jennifer Roberts, CEO of Chase Consumer Banking, said. “I’m proud to report that we did all of that and more, which is why we are continuing to expand our model to more communities across the country.”
“Today is not just a milestone for a bank, but an historic moment for my entire community,” she said. “Today we celebrate more than the opening of a bank, we celebrate the beginning of a new chapter here in Brooklyn. A chapter that promises growth,empowerment and opportunity for all.”The branch offers more than just telling and ATM services. It also features a team of local financial health experts focused on community engagement, mentorship and advice.
