(LEXINGTON, KY) – Forcht Bank has recently been named the 2021 Best Bank in Kentucky by Forbes Magazine’s Best-In-State Banks list. Forcht Bank is listed as the #1 ranked bank in Kentucky ahead of four other banks that also made the list of Best-In-State Banks.
Across all states, 135 banks were recognized, which equates to only the top 2.7% of all U.S.-based financial institutions. Forbes partnered with Statista, a leading provider of market and consumer data, to identify the best banks in each state based on customer surveys. The surveys collected consumer scoring in areas of overall satisfaction, trust, branch services, digital services, customer service, financial advice, and terms and conditions.
“We are excited to be named the Best Bank in Kentucky as a result of our customers’ survey data,” said Tucker Ballinger, Forcht Bank President & CEO. “It’s a tremendous affirmation that the work we do each day is providing value to our customers throughout Kentucky and Ohio.”
