WSFS Celebrates Grand Opening of 1818 WSFS Bank Place Banking Office and Wiss Fiss Lounge
PHILADELPHIA, January 08, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WSFS Bank, the primary subsidiary of WSFS Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: WSFS), today celebrated the Grand Opening of its banking office and the accompanying Wiss Fiss Lounge, marking another chapter in the Bank’s commitment to Philadelphia. The new banking office is located at WSFS’ Philadelphia headquarters at 1818 WSFS Bank Place on Market Street.
Located in the heart of Center City, the new banking office includes offices for meetings with Customers, a full-service ATM and a modern banking environment. In addition to the new banking office, WSFS leased an additional 1,479 square feet in the building lobby to create the Wiss Fiss Lounge. This space will provide building tenants, visitors, local businesses and the Community a place to meet and host special events, with access to a variety of quick serve food and beverage options.
WSFS Bank Chairman, President and CEO, Rodger Levenson, and Chief Consumer Banking Officer, Shari Kruzinski, were joined by representatives from the State of Pennsylvania, City of Philadelphia, Center City District, The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia, Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation, WSFS Associates, Customers and Community partners to celebrate the banking office and Wiss Fiss Lounge Grand Opening.
The WSFS CARES Foundation, the charitable giving arm of WSFS Bank, provided its first grant of 2024 to Gift of Life Howie’s House. The $10,000 grant will support the organization’s mission to serve as a "home away from home" for transplant patients and their families by providing temporary, affordable lodging, and supportive services to those who travel to Philadelphia for transplant-related care. The celebration also featured a performance by a Mummers string band, and an appearance by Phang, the Philadelphia Union’s mascot.
"Since WSFS moved into this building in 2019, we’ve anxiously awaited this day and the opportunity to open a banking office at WSFS Bank Place," said Kruzinski. "We look forward to welcoming Customers to our new banking office and Wiss Fiss Lounge. This location will provide a full range of amenities to meet Customers’ needs and space to share with Customers, Community members and our fellow tenants of 1818 Market Street. WSFS has been serving our Customers and Communities for nearly 200 years, and our team is eager to bring banking services to this new location in Center City Philadelphia."
