“We always appreciate earning independent third-party recognition for doing right by our stakeholders,” said Mark Grescovich, President & Chief Executive Officer. “This recognition is especially meaningful because it measures trust, which is absolutely vital in banking.”
Newsweek created this prestigious list in collaboration with market research partner Statista Inc. Together, they selected 1,000 companies across 23 industries and 20 countries. The ranking is based on an independent survey of more than 70,000 participants and 230,000 evaluations from customers, investors and employees who responded to prompts like "I trust this company's advertising and communications claims" and "I believe this company treats its employees fairly." They also incorporated social listening, an analysis of company mentions across social platforms.
Earlier this year, Newsweek named Banner Bank one of the Most Trustworthy Companies in America, using similar criteria. Banner has received additional national recognition this year, including being named to Forbes list of the 100 Best Banks in America for the eighth consecutive year and Newsweek’s Best Regional Banks in America. Banner has also received a 5-Star rating from BauerFinancial for 44 consecutive quarters, earning the bank the additional designation of an Exceptional Performance Bank.
