The move is expected to help the bank reap nearly $188m in tax benefits over a decade.
The bank will now submit an application to the New Jersey Economic Development Authority for a $19m subsidy over 10 years.

The US lender received tax credits of $225m last year to create 1,000 jobs in Jersey City and retain 2,612 existing jobs.
