'''Investors Bank''' was a publicly traded, full-service bank that was based in Short Hills, New Jersey, USA. The bank operated over 150 branches across New Jersey and New York.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.myinvestorsbank.com/branch-locations|title=Branch and ATM Locations &#124; NY Bank &#124; NJ Bank &#124; Investors Bank|access-date=2016-12-15|archive-date=2016-12-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161221015343/https://www.myinvestorsbank.com/branch-locations|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The bank operated from 1926 until 2022 as an independent entity, then was purchased by Citizens Financial Group. Investors Bank continued to operate as a subsidiary of Citizens while the company worked to merge the operations of the two banks into one; this was completed on February 28, 2023, when all Investors Bank branches were rebranded as Citizens Bank.

== History == In 1926, the bank was incorporated as the Washington Rock Building and Loan Association.<ref>{{cite news | title =Marathon Banking agrees to purchase by Investor Bancorp | publisher =Zephyr | date =15 June 2012 | url =http://zephyr2.bvdep.com/version-2013819/FullEditorialNews.serv?databaseContext=Deals&NewsId=11998&product=zephyrneo | access-date=2013-08-29}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite news | author = Lynne Ranieri | title =Local History: Investors Savings Bank's Legacy | publisher =Millburn-ShortHills Patch | date =9 August 2010 | url =http://millburn.patch.com/groups/editors-picks/p/local-history-investors-savings-banks-legacy | access-date=2013-08-29}}</ref>

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.<ref>{{cite news | title =Investors Bancorp, Inc.
