"As a result of those efforts, the Board of Directors believes it is prudent to once again have a common stock repurchase authorization in place that provides us flexibility to deploy capital strategically while continuing to support our clients and our long-term growth strategy."

Customers Bancorp expects to fund any repurchases with cash on hand.
