For the fourth time, North Shore Bank has been named to the Forbes Best-in-State Banks list.

The list recognizes the top banks in each American state, based on a survey of more than 25,000 people by market research firm Statista, as well as data pulled from Google reviews. Banks are rated on their service and amenities and the improvements they’ve made in those areas. Forbes excludes banks and credit unions with branches in 15 or more states, so that the list highlights regional financial institutions. In all, 137 American banks and credit unions made the list this year.

North Shore Bank last made the Forbes list in 2021. Before that, we were on it in 2018 and 2019, as well.
