For the second year in a row, North Shore Bank has finished in the top five on Forbes’ list of Best-in-State Banks. Working with market researchers at Statista, the news outlet surveyed more than 25,000 Americans about their banking relationships and used the responses to rank the best financial institutions in all 50 states.

Forbes awarded the best-in-state designation to only 149 banks and 182 credit unions in the United States — just 3.1 percent of the country’s financial institutions. North Shore Bank ranked high in 2018, when the list debuted, as well.

“This shows that every day our employees are committed to providing caring, friendly, and helpful service that keeps our customers happy and keeps banking easy and convenient,” senior vice president retail banking Sue Doyle said in the bank’s official press release. “It’s what we’ve done for over 95 years.”
