W. WARWICK — Centreville Bank has been named as one of the nation’s 2024 Best Banks to Work For by American Banker.
Centreville Bank is the highest-ranking bank in Rhode Island and one of only nine in New England to make this prestigious list. Centreville ranked 69th out of 90 banks across the country.
The Best Banks to Work For program identifies, recognizes, and honors U.S. banks that excel at creating a positive and supportive workplace for employees. This recognition is based on an anonymous employee survey and a review of the benefits and perks offered.
“Our recognition as one of the Best Banks in America by American Banker is more than just an award-it’s a testament to our commitment to putting people first,” said Hal Horvat, president, CEO, and chairman of the Board for Centreville Bank. “This honor reflects the dedication of our team to serving our customers, supporting our communities, and striving for excellence. It reminds and inspires us to keep making progress on purpose every day.”
To be considered for this recognition, banks had to have at least 50 employees working in the U.S. and been in business for a minimum of one year.
Best Companies Group managed the registration and survey process and analyzed the data to determine the final ranking.
