-- SouthState Bank and CenterState Bank have received top
honors from Forbes and Greenwich, including being listed in the top
50 of Forbes' Best Banks in America and receiving seven regional
Greenwich Excellence awards for both middle market banking and
small business banking.
"With more than 5,000 financial institutions in the United States, having SouthState ranked in
the top 50 of America's Best Banks by Forbes is an honor," said
John Corbett, CEO of SouthState
Bank. "Last year, we closed the merger between SouthState and
CenterState, giving us the opportunity to serve more than one
million customers across six states. We have been focused on
building one of the leading regional banks in the Southeast, and we
are pleased our customers feel we have achieved that vision."

publicly-traded banks and thrifts based on their growth, credit
quality and profitability. See the full article, which includes the

Greenwich Associates, the leading global provider of market
intelligence to the financial services industry, recognized
SouthState and CenterState amongst banks in the South with awards
for overall satisfaction for middle market banking. Both banks also
received South-region awards for likelihood to recommend for small
business banking.
SouthState received three additional South-region awards for
overall satisfaction, cash management overall satisfaction and
proactively providing advice.
"The Greenwich Excellence awards are especially meaningful to
us. While we are focused on providing excellent service to
businesses of all sizes, we know the pandemic has created extra
challenges for small businesses, especially. To be recognized for
our service to both small and middle market businesses is a
testament to the dedication our bankers have to making sure
businesses in our communities receive the support they need to
succeed," said Greg Lapointe, chief
banking officer.
