WSFS Financial Corporation Marks 40 Years of Public Trading

WSFS Financial Corporation, the parent company of WSFS Bank, commemorated its 40th anniversary as a publicly traded entity by ringing the Nasdaq Closing Bell on Tuesday, June 2, 2026 [2]. The ceremony, held at the exchange, highlighted the organization’s long-standing history and its growth as a financial services provider [3].

Key takeaways

• WSFS Financial Corporation has been listed on the Nasdaq exchange for 40 years as of June 2026 [2].
• The company, which traces its origins to 1832, is the oldest and largest locally headquartered bank in the Greater Philadelphia and Delaware region [2].
• As of March 31, 2026, the corporation reported $22.1 billion in assets on its balance sheet and $97.6 billion in assets under management and administration [3].
• The organization operates 114 offices across six states, including Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Florida, Nevada, and Virginia [2].

Celebrating a corporate milestone

Rodger Levenson, the Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of WSFS, led the bell-ringing ceremony alongside a group of associates, including several who have served the organization for four decades or more [3]. Levenson credited the company’s longevity to its financial strength and the relationships developed with clients, communities, and staff members [2]. He noted that the dedication of the company’s associates serves as the "blueprint" for the organization's ongoing success [3].

WSFS operates as a multibillion-dollar financial services company with a diverse portfolio of subsidiaries and divisions [2]. Beyond its primary banking operations, the company provides services through entities such as Cash Connect, NewLane Finance, and various wealth management arms [3]. The bank is recognized as one of the ten oldest in the United States that has continuously operated under the same name since its founding in 1832 [2].

Why it matters

The 40-year milestone reflects the evolution of WSFS from a regional institution into a broader financial services franchise [2]. With a market capitalization of approximately $3.87 billion, the company remains a significant player in the savings and loan holding sector [4]. As the organization moves forward, it continues to manage a wide array of fiduciary, investment, and commercial banking products across its multi-state footprint [3]. While the company focuses on its long-term growth and service, it also maintains active public communication regarding operational security, such as warning customers about the rise of fraudulent calling attempts posing as bank associates [5].
