Great Place To Work® and Fortune have selected SmartBank for the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces in Financial Services & Insurance™ List. This is SmartBank’s 1st time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at 28th place in the small and medium category. Earning a spot means that SmartBank is one of the best companies to work for in the country.
The Best Workplaces in Financial Services & Insurance list is based on analysis of survey responses from over 194,000 employees at Great Place To Work Certified™ companies in the financial services and insurance industry.
“We are grateful for the energy and dedication our associates contribute each day,” said Billy Carroll, SmartBank President and CEO. “This recognition celebrates their ongoing commitment to fostering a workplace where everyone can succeed.

This recognition is a testament to the inclusive culture we’ve built together, where collaboration and care drive our success every day.”
The Best Workplaces in Financial Services & Insurance list is highly competitive. Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, determines its lists using its proprietary Trust Index™ Survey to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study, based on over 1.3 million survey responses and data from companies representing more than 8.4 million employees.
Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for employees regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.
“Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Financial Services & Insurance,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “In every industry, our research shows that investing in people drives productivity and higher revenues. When trust levels are high in an organization, people don’t fear AI — they embrace it.”
SmartBank’s recognition on this year’s list follows two consecutive years of being certified as a Great Place To Work®. This consistent achievement reflects the organization’s ongoing commitment to creating a supportive and rewarding workplace environment, where associates’ contributions are valued and celebrated.
