PINE
BLUFF, Ark., June 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Simmons Bank announced today it
has been named to Forbes America's Best-In-State Banks
2024 in the state of Tennessee.
America's Best-In-State Banks 2024 ranking names the institutions
that stood out for fulfilling the unique financial needs and
expectations of their local communities thereby being most valued
by residents of each state.
"This recognition by Forbes is a testament to the outstanding
team we have at Simmons, as well as affirmation of the work we do
each day to provide our customer and the communities we serve with
value-added financial products and services," said Jay Brogdon, president of Simmons Bank. "Simmons
has served as a trusted financial advisor for more than 120 years
and we are proud to build on the legacy of excellence that has been
part of the Simmons Bank story since our founding in 1903."
For the seventh annual ranking, Forbes partnered once
again with market research firm Statista Inc., the world-leading
statistics portal and industry ranking provider, to survey
approximately 26,000 U.S. residents. Participants were asked to
name all the banks and credit unions where they currently have—and
previously had—a checking or savings account, and to identify
financial institutions they know through the experiences of friends
and family. Respondents were asked to share their level of
satisfaction with the bank or credit union, and their willingness
to recommend it to others, and to rate the organization on such
criteria as: customer service, the quality of financial advice
offered by representatives, fee structures, ease of navigating
digital services and accessing help at branch locations, and the
degree of trust the financial institutions inspired.
Additionally, Statista collected online text reviews and ratings
written between February 2021 and
March 2024. This research accounted
for 20 percent of the scoring while the surveys accounted for 80
percent of the scoring.
