In 1926, the bank was incorporated as the Washington Rock Building and Loan Association.[4] Sixteen years later, its name changed to Investors Savings and Loan Association. Through mergers, acquisitions, and internal expansion, the bank grew and eventually changed its name to Investors Savings Bank.[5]
In 1997, Investors changed from a New Jersey-chartered mutual savings bank to a New Jersey-chartered stock savings bank, and reorganized as a two-tiered holding company. The bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of Investors Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware-chartered, mid-tier stock holding company, and Investors Bancorp Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Investors Bancorp MHC.
In 2005, Investors Bancorp Inc. became a partially public company, trading common stock on the NASDAQ.[6] In 2011, the bank rebranded itself and changed its name to Investors Bank.[7] On May 8, 2014, Investors Bancorp became a fully public company.[8]
Investors Bank was acquired by Citizens Financial Group in 2022.[9] By February 28, 2023, all Investors locations were rebranded as Citizens Bank.[10]
