Giving Back through Community Engagement

Rooted in Community Since 1910

Community engagement has been at the heart of APS Bank since our founding in 1910. Established by Gozitan Jesuit Fr Michael Vella, the Bank brought together professionals and merchants with a shared vision - to uplift the working class at a time when a formal welfare state was still out of reach.

Over a century later, APS Bank has grown into one of Malta’s leading financial institutions, employing over 700 individuals and offering a comprehensive portfolio of banking products and services.

Making a lasting impact

At APS Bank, we believe that giving back to the community is more than a responsibility - it's part of who we are.

We actively support a wide range of community initiatives and projects. Our approach is grounded in forming partnerships that are just, sustainable, and mutually beneficial. We prioritise working with umbrella organisations to amplify our collective impact, rather than supporting isolated efforts.

Our commitment is visible in our support for charitable, voluntary, and community-based projects that align with our core purpose. One key example is the APS Hub in St Julian’s - a free-to-use space for collaboration, discussion, and creativity. Designed with sustainability in mind, the Hub also hosts exhibitions open to the public, reflecting our values and our role at the heart of the community.

As part of our commitment to driving positive change, we are proud to be a member of the Academy of Givers - non-profit network that empowers businesses to become a force for good through collaboration, learning, and shared inspiration. We are also a signatory of the Malta Diversity & Inclusion Charter, reflecting our pledge to promote inclusive practices, foster diverse talent, and champion equal opportunities across the communities we serve.

Our CSR Programme & sponsorships

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programme reflects the Bank’s core values: Excellence, Authenticity, Passion, Inclusion, and being Contemporary.

We focus our CSR efforts on three main pillars:

  • Arts
  • Lifelong Learning
  • Sustainability

Through events, sponsorships, and collaborative projects, we aim to create meaningful, lasting value for society. Some of our flagship initiatives include:

  • APS talks & Business talks – connecting the wider community with leading experts, sharing knowledge and raising awareness on key issues.
  • Malta Sustainability Forum – raising awareness on the topic of sustainability, with the aim of empowering citizens to make conscious decisions towards a more sustainable life.
  • APS publications – offering insights into Malta’s economic and social issues, including supported works.

These, along with many other initiatives, are testament to our belief in the power of collaboration to create positive change.
