About Pathward
Pathward Financial, Inc. is a U.S.-based banking and financial services company that has been committed to expanding financial access and inclusion since its inception in 1954 as Storm Lake Savings and Loan Association in Iowa. Over the years, the organization has evolved significantly, culminating in its rebranding as Pathward in 2022 after divesting from the 'Meta' trademark. This change symbolizes a renewed focus on empowering individuals and businesses through innovative banking solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of underserved communities.
At Pathward, we believe banking should be accessible to everyone. We leverage our national bank charter and extensive financial expertise to offer a wide range of services through two primary business lines: Partner Solutions and Commercial Finance. These offerings include banking as a service, insurance premium financing, and tax-related financial transactions, among others. Our dedication to ethical practices and strong corporate governance underscores our mission to support our partners and customers on their financial journeys, ensuring that we continue to contribute positively to the communities we serve and foster an inclusive economic environment.
