Best Small Bank

Each year, Newsweek releases a list of America's Best Banks, naming what LendingTree determined to be the best small and large bank in every state in the nation.

Per Newsweek: "From a universe of more than 2,500 FDIC-insured institutions, we assessed US banks and the savings and checking accounts they offer based on 55 separate factors to come up with a best-in-class option in 19 categories - including the best big and small bank in every state, because banking in many ways remains a local endeavor." 

First Palmetto is honored to have been the South Carolina recipient of this award for the past three years - 2021, 2022 and 2023.

"For over 115 years, we have maintained a strong community banking presence with a focus on customer service," he said. "This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our employees, as well as our efforts to provide high-quality products and services to all of those we serve."

First Palmetto was founded in 1904 and headquartered in Camden. There are now 22 locations across the state.
