Our Story

From a Single Branch to a Global Bank

Investment Society Ltd was founded in 1965 by a group of community leaders in New York who believed that every person — regardless of income or background — deserved access to fair, transparent financial services.

Starting with a single branch in Manhattan, we grew steadily by putting customers first. We were early adopters of online banking in the 1990s and pioneered mobile-first banking in the 2010s.

Today, Investment Society Ltd serves over 2.4 million customers across six continents, managing more than USD 180 billion in assets. Our mission remains unchanged: empowering financial wellbeing for all.
