Forbes and Statista awarded the America’s Best-In-State Banks recognition to 135 banks out of 5,117 nationwide. The banks were chosen based on the highest score awarded through an independent survey from a vast sample of more than 25,000 U.S. customers spread among all states. The survey was conducted using an online access panel and participants were asked to rate every bank at which they had a checking account. In addition, banks were rated in five sub-dimensions: Trust, Terms & Conditions, Branch Services, Digital Services and Financial Advice. Only the top 2.6% of all banks in America made the list.
