LITTLE ROCK, Ark. –– Simmons Bank announced today it has been named to Forbes America’s “Best-In-State” Banks 2021 list in Arkansas, ranking third. This prestigious award is presented by Forbes with data compiled through a partnership with market research firm Statista. Out of the more than 4,978 FDIC-insured banks in America that met the eligibility requirements, only 2.7 percent of the banks were named to the 2021 list.
The recognition is based on an independent survey of approximately 25,000 U.S. consumers who were asked to rate their bank at which they have or previously had checking accounts. Participants were asked 20 questions about their financial dealings and the banks were rated based on overall recommendations regarding overall satisfaction, as well as subdimensions including: trust, terms and conditions, branch services, digital services, customer service and financial advice.
“For more than 100 years, Simmons Bank has had the opportunity to serve our customers and communities by building strong relationships,” said George Makris, Jr., chairman and CEO of Simmons Bank. “As we have grown in scale, our commitment to deliver the best products and services for our customers has remained a primary focus.
