United Bank has been named the Most Trustworthy Bank in America by Newsweek for 2023. Across 23 industries evaluated, United joined the list of the “Most Trustworthy Companies in America,” earning the No. 1 spot in the Banks category, outranking its second-place position following the inaugural survey in 2022.
After reviewing U.S. businesses, Newsweek presented its second annual ranking of Most Trustworthy Companies in America according to U.S. residents’ evaluations. The Most Trustworthy Companies were chosen based on a holistic approach to evaluating trust, focused on three key public touchpoints including customer trust, investor trust and employee trust.
