Community Bank Earns Special Recognitions from Newsweek and Forbes

Our priority at Community Bank is our customers, plain and simple. No matter what their needs may be—from banking and financial guidance to mortgages and business loans—we stand by our promise to help them bank happy every day. So when we learned we were being recognized for it by both Newsweek and Forbes, we couldn’t help but be proud.

In April of 2022, we were recognized as one of America’s Most Trusted Companies by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The full list of 400 was gathered in an independent survey based on a sample of approximately 50,000 U.S. residents who rated companies they know based on three touchpoints: customer trust, investor trust, and employee trust.

We followed up that honor by earning a place on the Forbes World’s Best Banks 2022 list. These banks were selected based on over 45,000 consumer surveys representing 27 different countries. Forbes also focused on trust as a key component, but expanded the criteria to a total of five areas: trust, terms and services, customer services, digital services, and financial advice.

“We’re incredibly proud and honored to rank among the most trusted companies in America,” Community Bank CEO and President Mark Tryniski said. “Trust is our business and is earned over time by doing what is right. This recognition is truly a testament to our team and their relationships with our local communities, our customers, and our investors to serve as a trusted financial institution in everything we do.”

If these honors tell us anything, it’s that we’re on the right path. We’ll keep supporting our customers at every turn, earning their trust and helping them live their best financial lives. It’s our mission in life, and we’re proud to uphold it. From all of us at Community Bank, thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you.
