Rider University and Fulton Bank announced a new partnership Monday aimed at providing a banking program for students, faculty, staff and alumni. Fulton now serves as the official bank of Rider Athletics.

Some highlights of the five-year agreement include:

• Fulton will provide a variety of account options, including no-fee checking accounts, online and mobile banking, and contactless debit cards
• Fulton will offer a Workforce Banking program with a suite of products and services for Rider faculty and staff
• Fulton installed new ATMs in the Student Recreation Center and Bart Luedeke Center
• The bank will issue branded ATM/debit cards

Leaders from both entities expressed excitement about the partnership.

“Rider University is proud to team up with Fulton Bank to elevate the banking experience for our community,” said Rider University President Gregory Dell’Omo. “We are confident that Fulton Bank’s top-tier services and esteemed reputation for excellence will provide our students, faculty, staff, and alumni with unmatched financial services for years to come.”

Fulton Bank CEO Curt Myers said that whether it is a no-minimum balance account or convenient tools to manage on-the-go banking, Fulton looks forward to delivering new and innovative solutions that will empower better financial decisions while helping change lives.

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Rider University to provide banking services for students, faculty, staff and alumni,” said Myers.

The announcement comes on the heels of Pennsylvania-based Fulton’s acquisition of beleaguered Republic First Bank.
