WINTER
HAVEN, Fla., July 27,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SouthState today announced it
has been named to Forbes' "Best-in-State Banks" list, earning the
No. 1 ranking in Florida and the
No. 3 spot in South Carolina,
making SouthState one of only nine banks in the country to earn the
distinction in two states.
This is the second consecutive year the bank has earned the top
spot on the list in Florida and
the fifth consecutive year the company has made the list in
South Carolina.
In addition, SouthState was named one of the Best Places to Work
in South Carolina by Best
Companies Group, in partnership with SC Biz News. The distinction
comes as a result of the evaluation of company workplace policies,
practices and demographics, as well as an employee survey.
"SouthState is a leading regional bank in the Southeast, thanks
to the hard work of our 5,000+ employees who serve more than one
million customers," said John
Corbett, CEO. "When it comes to banking, we know our
customers have lots of choices, and we are honored they choose us.
It means a lot to us to repeatedly receive these top distinctions,
both as the bank of choice and the employer of choice."
Between one and five banks and credit unions were awarded the
best-in-state designation by Forbes. Nationwide, 133 banks, or only
2.7 percent of all banks in America, made the list, available
here.
To identify the best banks in each state, Forbes and market
research firm Statista conducted in-depth interviews with more than
26,000 U.S. citizens on their banking relationships. Respondents
ranked banks on overall recommendation and satisfaction, as well as
six key areas: trust, terms and conditions (including reasonable
and transparent fees), branch services, digital services, customer
service and financial advice.
