Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

A Word From Leadership

“Our inclusive and highly engaged workforce is our greatest asset. Making people our purpose and ensuring that every voice is valued while doing the right thing, going above and beyond and winning as one team is the key to making S&T a great place to work and a great place to bank!”

Access and Opportunity Summit

S&T Bank hosted the first of its kind summit, with the aim of bringing community leaders together with S&T leaders for dialogue to delve into how we can create a more inclusive financial system. The theme of the summit was building bridges to financial inclusion. Through open discussion and collaboration, we believe we can develop tailored financial products and services that truly resonate with the needs of the communities we serve. Fostering ongoing conversations and strengthening these vital partnerships is the key to building bridges to financial success and promoting lasting community impact.
