North Shore Bank Earns Forbes Best-In-State Bank for Seventh Time

North Shore Bank has once again been recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best-In-State Banks for 2026, marking the seventh time the community bank has received this distinction in Wisconsin.

The annual list highlights financial institutions that stand out for meeting the unique needs of their communities, according to the North Shore Bank press release. In partnership with market research firm Statista, a global provider of market data and industry rankings, the rankings are based on an independent survey of approximately 26,000 U.S. consumers, along with analysis of publicly available reviews.

Banks are evaluated across key areas including trust, customer service, digital experience, financial advice and overall customer satisfaction.

“This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects the voices of our customers,” said Senior Vice President of Retail Banking Susan T. Doyle. “For over a century, we’ve focused on building relationships and helping our customers reach their financial goals. Being named among the best in Wisconsin for the seventh time reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional service and supporting the communities we serve.”

Founded in 1923 and headquartered in Brookfield, North Shore Bank is a mutual savings bank with assets of over $2.5 billion and 41 offices throughout eastern Wisconsin. There are branches in Ozaukee County — in Mequon and Grafton— and there will be two more after North Shore’s acquisition of PyraMax Bank is completed.
