In honor of National Volunteer Month, we're flipping the spotlight on our colleague volunteers. What makes Citizens stand out are our passionate colleagues who genuinely care about helping our customers and communities thrive. This is shown in how we show up to give back to the neighborhoods where we live and work. In 2023, nearly 9,000 colleagues donated more than 232,000 service hours to support 3,200 nonprofits. Amongst the super-regional banks, our civic engagement totals are above and beyond our peers and are a true differentiator that sets apart our culture and the impact we have on our communities. Plus, every colleague receives 4 hours of additional PTO annually for volunteer-related activities and Citizens matches colleague donations (up to $1,000 annually) to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Together, we are Made Ready to Make a Difference!
