In line with its purpose, Pathward’s DEI program aims to support
diverse perspectives across the organization to promote financial
inclusion
Pathward®, N.A., an industry leading financial empowerment
company, today announced that its CEO, Brett Pharr, has joined with
more than 2,400 CEOs in signing the CEO Action for Diversity &
Inclusion™ pledge, signaling the company’s commitment to advancing
diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.
Signing the pledge is in line with Pathward’s purpose to power
financial inclusion. Pathward is committed to cultivating a
workplace that welcomes and respects diverse perspectives and
experiences where employees feel encouraged to discuss diversity
and inclusion openly.
“A diverse and inclusive workforce is a strong workforce, and it
makes all of us better employees, colleagues and community
members,” said Brett Pharr, Pathward’s CEO. “As a purpose-driven
company, it is critical that our workforce reflects the communities
we serve. We rely every day on the diversity of thought, viewpoint
and experience of our employees to help create solutions for
individuals and businesses to help them reach the next stage of
their financial journey.”
Pathward, a leader in Banking as a Service, has found that
purpose is a powerful business tool. Highlighted in the company’s
recent study, “The Role of Purpose in the Fintech Industry,”
Pathward’s survey revealed that commitment to purpose is the No. 1
consideration for fintech executives when evaluating a BaaS
partner’s trustworthiness. The survey also shows that most fintech
executives believe that a purpose-led bank partner will be a more
committed and reliable partner.
Improved innovation, better business performance and bottom
lines, broader access to talent and higher employee retention are
among the benefits noted by Tanya Ileto Diaz in “The Lasting
Benefits of DEI in the Workplace.” As a result, Pathward has
implemented DEI curriculum for employees, and it has expanded its
internal DEI steering committee to incorporate leaders from across
the organization, including Anthony Sharett, the president of
Pathward. Learn more about Pathward’s focus on DEI at

The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ was formed by CEOs
and leaders from Accenture, BCG, Deloitte US, The Executive
Leadership Council, EY, General Atlantic, KPMG, New York Life,
Procter & Gamble, and PwC. The coalition represents over 21
million employees globally from companies of various sizes and
industries.
