WATERBURY, Conn., July 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Webster Bank
was named one of the "most reputable banks" in the country,
according to the 2017 Survey of Bank Reputations, conducted by the
independent organization Reputation Institute. In addition, Webster
also earned the highest score of any Northeast-based banks and
ranked seventh overall in the United
States. The annual survey measures U.S consumers'
perceptions of major bank brands.
"Webster's community-minded, values-guided bankers excel in
service to our customers and communities each and every day," said
Chairman and CEO Jim Smith. "We
stand by our customers through thick and thin as we fulfill our
mission to help businesses and consumers achieve their financial
goals. We especially appreciate this recognition because we
understand that our reputation is only as good as our customers'
confidence in us."
Stephen Hahn-Griffiths, vice
president and consulting director, U.S., for Reputation Institute
added, "For a bank, having a strong reputation is important,
because it ensures customers will do business with you,
policymakers and regulators will give you license to operate, and
potential employees will be more willing to work with you."
The 2017 Annual Survey of Bank Reputations scores and rankings
are based on more than 12,000 ratings collected via an online
questionnaire in the first quarter of 2017. They measure the
general public's perception of where the company stands on seven
key rational dimensions of reputation: products and services,
innovation, leadership, workplace, performance, citizenship, and
governance. Webster rated highly on innovation to place it among
the top five in that category.
Webster Bank is a leading
regional bank serving consumers, businesses, and the community
since 1935.
