The Greenwich awards are based on more than 30,000 market research interviews with companies in the United States. Of the more than 750 banks evaluated, only 34 were cited for distinctive quality, and only 43 were given awards in small business banking. Only 14 banks in the country received 10 or more excellence awards, including Nevada State Bank’s parent company Zions Bancorporation.
NSB has a branch in Fallon.
The Greenwich survey is conducted with more than 17,000 small businesses across the U.S. (companies with annual sales of $1 million to $10 million) and more than 14,000 middle-market companies, with sales of $10 million to $500 million. Decision-makers at those businesses are asked to rank their bank in 13 different categories.
