BUSINESS BRIEFS

The Provident Bank, New Jersey’s first and oldest community bank, will mark 175 years in business on Feb. 27. To celebrate its anniversary, the bank will offer refreshments to visitors at all branches during the day and host a gala event that evening at the Liberty House in Jersey City, where the bank has remained headquartered since its inception.

In addition, Provident recently introduced a new logo, which includes a beehive theme that embraces the bank’s heritage and reflects a modern look that is more representative of the 21st century.
