Bank Independent named a 2025 “Best Bank To Work For”
MADISON – Bank Independent has been named one of the 2025 Best Banks to Work For. American Banker has partnered with Best Companies Group to identify banks that excel at creating positive and supportive workplaces for employees. This is the seventh consecutive year that Bank Independent has made the list.
“Being recognized once again as one of the Best Banks to Work For is truly a reflection of our people,” said Macke Mauldin, CEO of Bank Independent. “Our team members bring our mission and values to life every day, and their commitment to serving our customers and communities is what makes Bank Independent such a special place to work.”
This year 90 banks earned a spot in the ranking of Best Banks to Work For, based on an anonymous employee survey and a thorough review of the benefits and perks offered. The full list of the 2025 Best Banks to Work For will be featured at www.americanbanker.com on Nov. 10.
“The banks recognized as Best Banks to Work For are institutions employees want to join and stay,” said Chana Schoenberger, editor-in-chief of American Banker. “They understand how to give workers reasons to find purpose in their jobs.”
Determining the Best Banks to Work For involved a two-step process. The first consisted of evaluating each participating bank’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation.
The second consisted of employee surveys aimed at assessing the experiences and attitudes of individual employees with respect to their workplace. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the final ranking.
To be considered for participation, 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 also analyzed the data to determine the final ranking.
