The program, part of a $700 billion financial rescue package passed in September, will see the government pour $250 billion into stock purchases of various institutions.

The parent of Beneficial Bank said in a statement that it is well-capitalized, has significant liquidity and a strong balance sheet.

Beneficial Bank, the company's banking subsidiary, has 72 offices in the greater Philadelphia and south New Jersey area.

Shares rose 24 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $11.54 in afternoon trading.
