Everyone finds out early in life that sharing even simple things like a smile helps people feel better.

Investors Bank, one of the fastest growing customer-focused community banks, knows that sharing makes daily life more livable and worthwhile. This month, Investors is introducing its Share Program,a way of encouraging the Bank’s 1,100 employees and its customers across the New York and New Jersey metropolitan area to take time to share the message that Investors is a special place to bank.

Investors Bank’s President and CEO Kevin Cummings said, "For us, sharing is at the heart of the productive connections and positive relationships we nurture each day. Now, our customers can share the good feelings they have about Investors with their friends and be rewarded for it."

The Sharing Person, most often a Bank customer, puts his or her name on the card and then gives it to a Share Partner, who may be a friend or family member. The Sharing Person shares his or her Investors’ experience with recipients and then encourages them to go to Investors with the Share Card and open a deposit account.

When a Share Partner opens a deposit account at Investors, that individual receives a $25 gift card, as does the Sharing Person. Gift cards may be redeemed at any of over 100 participating retailers.

And, after opening a deposit account, the Share Partner becomes a Sharing Person, who, in turn, can tell friends about Investors and earn additional rewards. People who help spread the good news about Investors get an "I Shared" emblem to place on their car.
