S&T Bank Receives Prestigious Community Commitment Award Recognizing Support for Military Families

S&T Bank Honored with National ABA Foundation Community Commitment Award

S&T Bank, part of the ST Bancorp, Inc. family and listed on NASDAQ as STBA, has earned recognition as a recipient of the prestigious 2025 American Bankers Association (ABA) Foundation Community Commitment Award in the category supporting military families. This accolade will be officially presented to the bank during the ABA's Annual Convention on October 21 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The ABA Foundation Community Commitment Awards celebrate banks that exemplify outstanding service to their communities and foster local economic growth. The purpose of these awards is to set a benchmark for community engagement across the U.S. Various categories this year included affordable housing, community and economic development, and specifically, support for military families among others. The selection process emphasized the importance of creativity and thoughtfulness in recognizing programs that reflect corporate social responsibility and achieve concrete results.

S&T Bank’s long-standing commitment to serving military personnel dates back more than two decades. Over this period, the bank has developed numerous products, programs, and sponsorships designed to assist military members and veterans. Chris McComish, CEO of S&T Bank, expressed gratitude for this honor, stating, "We are truly honored to receive this recognition. Our steadfast support for active-duty service members, veterans and their families continues to be an integral part of our people-focused banking mission and community engagement efforts."

The bank has not only dedicated resources but has also contributed significant volunteer time to organizations that aid veterans and their families. An example of their initiative is the Employee Resource Group (ERG) known as "Stars and Stripes," which consists of over 70 team members committed to supporting current and former military personnel. This group plays a vital role in community outreach and event organization while facilitating mentorship opportunities for veterans and military personnel.

In addition to volunteering, S&T Bank made a notable $10,000 donation this year to the Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors, Inc. (PAWW), a statewide non-profit offering vital support to veterans in crisis and their families. They also sponsored the March of Dimes Military Baby Shower held at the 316th Sustainment Command, an event aimed at military families to find encouragement, support, and resources.

For military personnel, S&T Bank offers an exclusive Armed Forces Checking Account tailored to individuals with a valid military ID. This account includes complimentary services such as wire transfers, checks, safe deposit boxes, no minimum balance, and no monthly maintenance fees, further exemplifying their commitment to support military families.

Susan Nicholson, Chief Human Resources Officer at S&T Bank, remarked, "Being recognized for our efforts to support military members is humbling. We are thankful for the positive influence our team's dedication has in the lives of those who serve and their families."
