Submitted

Centier Bank, Indiana’s largest private, family-owned and operated bank, has been ranked No. 1 Best Bank to Work For in Indiana by American Banker, a distinction held by Centier for the past nine years. American Banker’s 2026 Best Banks to Work For list, released on Nov. 10, also ranked Centier No. 6 out of the top 100 banks in the nation.

“Centier has built our bank and our culture on putting people first and doing what’s right,” Centier Bank President Chris Campbell said. “This incredible American Banker Best Banks to Work For ranking and recognition means a lot to Centier, especially this year, as it reinforces that the relationships that we continue to foster and nurture, both internally and externally, really are everything to us.”

American Banker, a nationally renowned industry publication, again partnered with Best Companies Group to identify banks that excel at creating positive and supportive workplaces for employees. This year 100 banks earned a spot in the ranking of American Banker’s 14^th annual Best Banks to Work For list, based on an anonymous employee survey and a thorough review of the benefits and perks offered. The survey and awards program are designed to identify and honor banks with the best cultures for helping employees thrive.

“Centier has a long heritage of caring for our associates, because we know that they are the heart of our culture and organization,” Centier Bank Chief People Officer Chrisanne Christ said. “We are very lucky to employ the best and brightest associates in the industry, but even more important, they are some of the kindest and most caring individuals. Doing what we can to support and invest in them is the undercurrent for everything we do.”

Determining the Best Banks to Work For involved a two-step process. The first consisted of evaluating each participating bank’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. The second consisted of employee surveys aimed at assessing the experiences and attitudes of individual employees with respect to their workplace, which is worth the remaining 75 percent of the evaluation. The combined scores determined the final ranking.

“The banks recognized as Best Banks to Work For are institutions employees want to join and stay,” American Banker Editor-in-Chef Chana Schoenberger said. “They understand how to give workers reasons to find purpose in their jobs.”

To be considered for participation, banks had to have at least 50 employees working in the U.S. and been in business for a minimum of one year. Best Companies Group managed the registration and survey process and also analyzed the data to determine the final ranking.
