COLUMBIA, S.C., July 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- South State
Bank has earned top honors in South
Carolina, being named to both the 2018 Best Places to Work
and Forbes Best-in-State Banks
lists.
"These awards are especially meaningful to us because our
employees and our customers rank us among the best in South Carolina," said John Windley, president and CEO of South State
Bank. "Our talented employees are the reason our customers choose
to bank with us. They work hard every day to make our customers
feel welcomed and valued, serving as trusted advisors to deliver
financial services that make customers' lives better."
For the second consecutive year, South State earned the "Best
Places to Work" title, one of only 26 large employers in the state
to be given the honor by SC Biz News, the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce and Best
Companies Group. Companies from across the state entered the
two-part survey process to determine the best places to work in
South Carolina. The first part
consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace
policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The
second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee
experience. The combined scores determined which companies made the
list.
South State was named to Forbes' inaugural "Best-in-State Banks"
list, which was developed by Forbes and partner Statista. More than
25,000 customers in the U.S. were surveyed for their opinions on
current and former banking relationships. Respondents ranked banks
on overall recommendation and satisfaction, as well as five
subdimensions: trust, terms and conditions, branch services,
digital services and financial advice. In total, only 124 banks
nationwide made the resulting list.
South State is the largest bank headquartered in South Carolina. With more than 2,000 employees
across the state in South State's branches and support centers, the
company has an annual South
Carolina-based payroll of more than $115 million. South State has 100 branch
locations in South Carolina and
operates in 29 of the state's 46 counties.
