The announcement comes as the bank notes it has increased its hourly minimum wage by 50% in the last two years. The minimum wage was raised from $12 to $15 an hour in January 2018, and since that time employee turnover had dropped 16% year over year, according to the bank. “This wage increase will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our employees,” says Bob Shaffer, Chief Human Resources Officer. "It could ease a car payment, facilitate a student loan payment or signal the start of a savings plan for the future.”
