Independence Bank Franklin County Market President Greg Burton expressed gratitude upon learning State Journal readers have, once again, voted this community-centered financial institution as their favorite bank in 2024.

“We’re excited, yet humbled, to learn that we have won this accolade for the fourth year in a row,” Burton shared. “It is a testament to the tremendous staff we have here that goes above and beyond to provide everyday excellence.”

Independence Bank has received this honor every year since 2021. What truly sets Independence Bank apart from other financial institutions, Burton believes, is the unwavering dedication to its customers, community and employees. Burton stated, “We don’t just talk about everyday excellence and community involvement; we put it into action every day. Our incredible team truly cares.”

Looking to the future, Burton reflect upon his vision: “My hope would be that we continue to grow and expand our presence in the market to introduce more and more people to the Independence Bank way of doing things while continuing to make a positive impact by always giving back.”

With gratitude and appreciation, Independence Bank plans to continue offering the same high level of care that customers have come to expect and is already enthusiastically aiming to earn this title for a fifth year.
